Learning Disability History
Enabling people to share experiences
Each year the School of Health and Social Welfare at the Open University organises a conference where people with learning difficulties, supporters, practitioners and academics share their life history experiences about a common theme.
It's been a common concern at these meetings that only a limited number of people can take part. In this short project, we looked at how we would build a record of such a conference within the limits of current technology. The year is 2001 and the theme "resistance".
