The Video Journalism in Europe project produced three videos, entitled “Work in Europe”. These were made by people with learning difficulties who attended video training courses, developed as part of the project. On the videos, viewers meet workers with learning difficulties in different parts of Northern Europe who have succeeded in finding work. However, there are immense barriers that face thousands of other people with learning difficulties throughout Europe. That is why this report focuses first on the barriers and challenges.
