This article aims to understand the making of school exclusion by studying organizational social capital. It is based on an ethnographic case study that took place in a secondary school in a poor and multiethnic area in Montreal. The use of « school form » revealed how some practices that promote academic excellence and focus on school culture can create obstacles to inclusion, by re- producing a norm that contributes to exclude students in vulnerable situations.
Keywords: exclusion, inclusion, social capital, school practices, school form, exclusion, inclusion, capital social, pratiques scolaires, forme scolaire

This article suggests a better understanding of the professionalization experiences in two higher education contexts in the performing arts: the National Circus School (Canada) and the National Circus Arts Center (France). This qualitative-interpretive research (2018-2020) is based on the concept of experience, on the Theory of activity, and on a large dataset of annotated observations, individual interviews, and focus groups. This paper invites readers to consider existing literature as well as the experiences and testimonials of participants to shed light on the diversity of forms professionalization experiences may take in this particular training context.

With the budgetary recession which characterizes all western countries, evaluation process knew an unprecedented craze and entered all professional fields, including the social one. The problem that arises is how to evaluate the performance in a field such as sociocultural community development, rooted in democratic values such as citizenship, participation, empowerment. To answer this question, the authors opted for a methodologal and epistemological approach based on two principles: the need to make place for the plurality of perspectives of the actors involved in a participatory evaluation process and research-based intervention on the co-construction of a data collection tool. Within this article, they share some of their theoretical reflections, assumptions and field observations aroused in the course of research.

Every city possesses zones devoid of human traffic during the day or at night. By the reclusion which they contain, these places make vulnerable whoever ventures and particularly women. To remedy this situation, the group Conscience Urbaine makes the bet that by modifying an urban place by the art, it will change the perceptions, will increase the attendance and consequently the safety of the place. More than a simple project of art in the public place, we speak about a concerted action which rests on the cooperation of the various actors who can act on the zone. We followed the projects of Conscience Urbaine during the summer and the autumn, 2015 to understand how these could be linked to an approach of social innovation. We also observed the approach from the point of view of the models of deep changes to succeed in understanding what braked or fed the innovation and the creativity in the process of action of the group.

This exploratory study exposes the various positive aspects resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic confinement in Quebec. Approximately thirty informal interviews were conducted to study these perceptions. Individuals observed positive changes regarding their consumption, eating behavior, time, mobility, equilibrium, community ties, resilience capacity and digital literacy. However, time passes and these positive aspects could wear off if not activated or preserved. If this is the case, we may no longer rely on them to transform society towards benevolent management and the development of the learning capacities of the people in organizations. Despite rapid and financial intervention by governments, there does not seem to be any concomitant mechanism implemented to bring about transformations (e.g. adaptation of catering services, training for the unemployed, etc.). We thus wish to highlight the positive aspects of confinement, to encourage people in society to mobilize in order to become more resilient and innovative in their practices contributing to the development of the “new normality”, or else face new waves or crises.
