Résumé
Refugee camps represent a deleterious social environment that hinders the normal course of adults refugees’s developmental trajectory and blocks the possibility of giving themselves a future. Based on the Vygotsky’s conception of social “disabilities,” we analyzed participation in a community-based group that aims to help refugees along in their social and professional integration. The results show that the group members’ collective actions, directed toward the object of their desired future, mainly constitute a victory and overcoming process over the deteriorated social fabric in refugee camps. Specific resources are created by the overcoming process, which the participants can mobilize toward theirintegration.
