The Lifestyles Project is a screening and discussion program designed to bring Lifestyles of the Poor and Unknown and its participants to specific groups to explore the issues raised. For a modest honorarium, Marni and Kris Jamieson and/or filmmaker Nancy Fliesler are available to speak at a group screening, providing a valuable opportunity to use the film as an educational and outreach tool. Possible topics include:
- Living with a cognitive disability: an inside view
- Discrimination and stigma
- Stereotypes about people with developmental disabilities
- Independent living: what supports do people with mild cognitive disabilities need?
- Love, marriage, and sexuality
- How do people with disabilities fit into today's competitive, capitalist society?
- How can we help the developmentally disabled find jobs?
- What is "intelligence"?
- "Be prepared to be judged:" advice for young people with a cognitive disability
Examples of some targeted settings:
- disability groups
- advocacy and self-advocacy groups
- independent living centers
- special education programs
- professionals-in-training
- community centers
- chambers of commerce
- social work organizations
- school programs in diversity
- churches and synagogues
