摘要

In France, with the economic crisis and the huge rate of unemployment, the role of Universities has changed in the recent years. They try to promote the creation of new economic activities to attract new people, especially coming from disadvantaged areas in great town suburbs, particularly unemployed young people. We present the experiment of Creators of Activities University Degrees (DUCA) around cooperative devices or Creators' Groups (GC). These DUCA/GC correspond to an individual project, part of a global dynamics in a collective approach. In a perspective of helping disadvantaged people to rebuild their life in a project dynamics of creation of economic activity, information and communication issues are central. We propose some tracks to analyze these cooperative devices through two Mediator Artifacts developed in the DUCA/GC areas of cooperation: the business plan of the activities' creators and the training serious game "Solutia". They help to better master the emotions and feelings of activities' creators to develop their self-confidence and their entrepreneurship skills.
