The beginnings of the project go back quite some time, it is now since more than 10 years that street workers reflect on the problems they are dealing with. In an informal manner and through force of circumstance, links have been created. Beginning by means of a research-action on November 15th 1999, nowadays the network produces numerous effects and events.
