The Penrith Photo-voice Project began in April 2007. The aim of the project was to support people with learning difficulties to explore what they thought were the social barriers to their self-determination - in other words - to look at what they thought were the things that stopped them from living life their way and stopped them from having control of their lives.

It was facilitated by Janice Ollerton, a PhD student from the University of Western Sydney.  Bart is our website administrator.  All the participants on the Penrith Photo-voice Project had mild learning difficulties and all of them contributed in a creative and meaningful way to not only the project but also this website.

Using disposable and digital cameras the group looked at many different areas in their lives where they felt there were unnecessary barriers.  We talked about common issues and how things might be different.  We worked out a plan and then implemented that plan to change the way things are so that things could  be better for people with learning difficulties.
