Using three case examples from PartKommPlus - Research Consortium for Healthy Communities, we report our experiences from joint research involving adults with learning difficulties and young people. Following the Photovoice Impact Model of CATALANI and MINKLER (2010), we assigned the observed impacts to three categories: the individual, community and societal levels. In line with the model, we discuss the contribution that the photovoice method can make to the individual empowerment of co-researchers, the understanding of community needs and assets, and to changing social reality by influencing political and other key actors.}, subject = {Photovoice , Gemeinschaft , Impakt}, language = {en} }
