Abstract:
This article wants to be a contribution reflecting on the theme of applied ethics aiming at nourishing professional and interdisciplinary practices. The authors examine the process of ethical deliberation which has four major ends : the development of reflective and ethical competences of professionals, the elaboration by professionals, of an ethical reflective structure facilitating professional praxis, orientation and quick coordination of action ; implementation of a structure of collective deliberation useful in the orientation of difficult decisions and future actions. Finally, this process also has an objective of evaluation and appears relevant in the apprenticeship drawn from experiences of each participant.
