-Inclusive education by Gisela CHATELANAT
Prof. associée à la Faculté de psychologie et des sciences de l’éducation (FPSE) de l’Université de Genève This second topic raises questions of educational practices when referring to special children, meaning those who are different. It has been postulated that an adapted care for children with special needs is a necessary one but it still needs to be implemented. Therefore the notions of prevention, integration and insertion will be examined in order to enable educational practices to evolve into increasing attention to particularities in order to facilitate social affiliation of these children.

From economic necessities to educational necessity by Tine Roostgard Senior researcher at the Danish National Institute of Social Research (Danemark)
The reports dealing with the placement of children in care facilities and those related to women back to work after child birth tend to focus the debate on economic values.

From then on, the subject of the social choice regarding the undertaking of young citizens will be discussed in depth through the polysemic notion of investment.
