ATD Fourth World is in Quebec since 1982.  Local groups exist in many regions and a permanent team established in Montreal coordinates their work from the ATD Fourth World’s house.  The team run different projects in under-resourced neighborhoods (Street Libraries, Festival of Learning), as well as projects aimed at encouraging the participation of people living in poverty (Peoples’ Universities, Merging Knowledge Projects), and also public campaigns aimed at influencing public opinion and government policy (Law Committee 112, October 17th International Day for the Eradication of Poverty), as well as ongoing actions in Québec.
