The goal of this study is to illustrate the necessity of establishing a partnership between Québec schools, the community, and social or community organizations, so that people who are handicapped or in difficulty can really be included in society. Despite laws advocating the recognition of these handicapped persons as fullfledged individuals, society is not educated about their inclusion. The school has a leading role to play in counteracting this reality. Through dialogue with the students, the school must promote beliefs and values that favour inclusion. Such a program would result in the acceptance of the special realities of this people, which, over the short term, would extend into society. The Propulsion project is a model that favours this kind of extension and promotes citizenship education, making the integration of handicapped people into the community a reality. Propulsion is a living environment for people with physical handicaps. To be accepted, Propulsion tenants must commit to spending three days a week engaged in social activities. In the context of planned social participation, it would be advisable to upgrade a social partnership activity and to create an inclusion project for the adult tenants of Propulsion in partnership with the neighbourhood elementary school.
