The Cirque Hors Piste piloted a project titled Création collectives.
 
The objective of this 11-month project was to pilot, propose and demonstrate the effectiveness of a model of intervention to prevent and reduce homelessness among young people through the results of an action research project in an intensive worktop environment of a circus.
 
The Créations collective applied a model of intervention known as "social circus" to develop skills related to the pre-employability of young people in situations of homelessness or high precariousness by promoting their process of social re-affiliation.
