Our Stories - A disability awareness and education community project

‘our stories’ travelled around New Zealand from 2007 to 2009 and brought you the voices of disabled people from your own community.

‘our stories’ tells you about the barriers to inclusion that exist for disabled people. This website brings you voices from the worlds of education, employment and day-to-day life: what is working well; what barriers remain; what you can do to bring about change.
