Lisa Curtis discusses the United Response Our Life Stories project with the project lead, Maxine Spry.
For Our Life Stories, people with learning disabilities interviewed their peers about their lives, creating a collection of life stories now preserved at the British Library.
Lisa and Maxine explore how sharing life stories can offer insights into people’s experiences of bullying, discrimination, relationships, autonomy, and support.
