The category of difference has always been placed in a dialectic relationship to theequality category, with a social target to reach or head. Besides the efforts of States andInstitutions in this sense, we see a continuous migration that hits some population's parts(migrants, disabled people, elderly, ...). We ask then: is it right, in the thought that leadsresearches, social and educational actions, set difference against equality? Does anothermethod exist that can be used to question differences? We feel, inside the education andcare professionals’ daily work , that there’s an urgency: we need to have Meeting.
