Conduct, norm, conscience, knowing how to be, education, good education.
Participate in this knowledge, how we apply it in our day by day is what allows us to interrelate, act in the social.
Our work participates in this knowledge, but it is through the game that we try to overcome one of the four exclusion systems that Foucault understands as a barrier, as an insurmountable limit for the integration of madness in Western societies. Remember the other systems of exclusion that Foucault assigns: Work, family and discourse, Foucault explains that who is reflected in the four systems of exclusion is a being outside society, an outsider, a madman. If we analyze carefully how the disability is assimilated, even now, in society we can affirm that we are before displaced, marginal beings, before the madman.
The boys and girls who participate in the project are aware of the game, of humor, participate in the absurd showing us a humor dimension not considered in their condition of disabled.
