The Youth Research Board are fundamental to Changing the Story. Their contribution to the project is remarkable, therefore it is only right that they get to say a few final words on their experience with Changing the Story. Their reflections come in different forms, from poetry, to illustration and song, each carefully crafted to express what Changing the Story and meeting each other has meant to them.
