Campus is an annual seminar of ATD International, organized by its Research Centre.
It offers researchers and professionals an opportunity to share their work and their questions related to chronic poverty and the commitments necessary to bring poverty to an end.
Using an interdisciplinary approach, it offers also the opportunity to study in depth how the ideas of Joseph Wresinski (1917-1988), founder of All Together in Dignity, are relevant to today’s issues.
Research and various approaches related to chronic poverty and social exclusion raise ethical, methodological and epistemological questions. Discussion sheds light on these questions in a new way for academics, researchers and practitioners at various levels.
Their highly diverse backgrounds ensure a dialogue that is both open and rooted in real
life. Ever since its first session in 2003, each annual Campus has been an opportunity to learn from one another while remaining open to the questions raised by the expectations of excluded populations.
Campus is also a convivial time with opportunities for informal meetings and discussions. For this reason participants are invited to stay at the International Centre of ATD in the Val d’Oise area of France, outside of Paris for the duration of the seminar. The seminar can accommodate sixty participants. In 2015, the working languages will be English, French and Spanish.
Campus 2015 will take place from 24 August to 28 August 2015 at the International Congress Center of ATD Fourth World located in Pierrelaye (Val d’Oise). It’s central question will be: Why should society be “Reaching Out to Those Whose Voices Are Still Not Heard”?
