To address issues of some children inclusion and the need of innovative tools for professionnals concerned about this difficulties , the pratice wealth of clown is using for the individual as well as the group, «the laught at oneself shared with others ».
Our project aim to design and disseminate educational tools based on psychopedagogy of the clown at European level with teachers, facilitators, educators for children aged 8 to 13 years.
It is intended to consolidate children inclusion out of school system (street children, new comers) or dropout within their clossroom and school due to various difficulties (physical, psychological, economics, familiar, cultural…)

Exercises-games with their accompaniment processes have been experienced in school or extra-school with children, some with inclusion difficulties (ULIS French classes, street children…).
