Abstract

Mulhouse's Foundry district, a politically designated area of the city, is known for its socio-economic challenges as a low-income neighborhood. Despite hosting a faculty, the district remains marked by social compartmentalization among its diverse population. However, recent socio-educational initiatives, including programs like "French as Language of Integration," implemented within the faculty, have sparked changes in perceptions among residents, students, and university staff. This heuristic study delves into the intricate mechanisms and complexities associated with territoriality, boundaries, and social diversity, with a specific focus on examining the impact of socio-educational interventions in the vibrant and poor Foundry district of Mulhouse.
