Summary/Abstract: The article describes the ATD Fourth World Movement founded in 1957 by Father Joseph Wresinski with families living in the Noisy-le-Grand homeless camp (near Paris).The text presents the Movement as a proposal of social inclusion and integration, and presents the origin of the Movement and its main assumptions and goals. The problem of social exclusion is still topical in the modern world and despite many activities carried out within the studied topic, unfortunately it is still quite common.
