| Description | The findings are helping charity workers, parents/carers and disabled young people to see how young people can be involved in research and how they can be instrumental in telling their own stories. At a launch event for the film, new young researchers were inspired by seeing the film as it gave them a sense of what could be achieved by young people working together with academics to make change. |

| Results and Impact | An event was held on a Saturday at the university, to which we invited young people, third sector organisations which supported those young people, academics, and the participants in the project. The event was attended remotely by a group of young people and their support workers in Japan, who have an existing relationship with the group of young people in the UK and who appear in the film. We showed the film and it was enthusiastically received by all those attending. The rest of the day was devoted to discussing new activities which could be led by young researchers. The film was a catalyst for these discussions and an inspiration for what could be achieved. |
