Public meeting on November 18, 2022 organized by UJML, the Foyer Notre Dame des sans Abris and the town hall of the 8th arrondissement of Lyon to present the Co-Con project (for co-construction). The "Cocon Rue Bataille" is one of the 3 pilot sites of "MERGING". One of the innovative dimensions of this program lies in the participation of all in the development of spaces and the design of activities on the site.
The objective of the meeting was to present the project to the inhabitants to develop the project together.

Think about the place of accompanied people in projects: why and how ?
