They have an original way of looking at the world, of speaking of culture, of being citizens, and yet nobody ever asks them their opinion!

‘Words of the World’ interviewed 34 people with an intellectual disability from 34 different countries. 34 members of L’Arche communities from the four corners of the world.

Welcome to

L’Arche International invited 34 people with an intellectual disability from 34 countries on the 5 continents, to have their say about societal questions.

In a collection of prolific interviews, “Words of the World” has chosen to share 6 themes and 5 significant portraits with you.

However, the world map offers you an enlightened insight into the singularity of each person within their culture.

‘Words of the World’ invites you to see the world from their perspective. Our ambition is simple: to explore, with you, the mystery of human diversity.
