Two Case Studies will be presented: the project "Independance" of a French NGO which aimed to develop an educational program of young people in new technologies using the subjects of drug abuse and drug prevention; the project of a regional government which aimed to implement methodologies for evaluating Websites in French created for the elderly and handicapped persons, transferred to unemployed young people. The characteristics of these projects are similar They are both financed by the European Union in furtherance of its youth employment policies They involve disfavored people: young people from a youth residence house who are in difficult social situations (for the first project), other young people who are unemployed (second project), isolated elderly person and handicapped persons (second project). They intend to develop a cooperation of different partners, including private and public sector, private association, NGO, and private company, local government. They are designed to encourage inter-generational contact and contacts between professionals and unemployed young people. They all try to introduce the targeted persons to new technologies, and set out methods and approaches of access to the new technologies (training program, motivation transmitted by the professional environment). They intend to introduce young people to the job market. They employ the Internet in reducing the isolation of the people targeted (elderly, handicapped, young) . The issues and the needs in the French context to encourage increased public participation with disfavorised people will be addressed. The impact of these projects will be discribed and analysed. Different issues will be discussed for example the necessity to evaluate the impact of these experimental actions in order to transfer or to create a new activity under better conditions, the difficult cooperation between private and public sector in this field, the role of the NGO, the role of the local government and the educational system, the way of stimulate the targeted population.
