This paper describes an intervention in the heart of a southern French suburb and the implementation of Charles Rojzman’s social therapy method®. The objective of the action was to stimulate and mobilise locals and professionals to the benefit of youth living in the area. Collective intelligence is the result of a cooperative process. It is about bringing together knowledge, understanding and those responsible for it. Whilst the goal is to build a capacity for dialogue between participants, the participants themselves can be considered as subjects, human beings of conflicting will, involuntary inertia and resistance. And the group, being a coming together of these subjects, may therefore reflect such traits as inconsistency, antagonism and disorder.
