Translating research findings into something that can be used for learning and teaching of complex concepts, can increase the impact of a research project and influence societal change. In this project, researchers from three countries collaborated to develop a series of vignettes that illustrated intersecting experiences of discrimination and participation restriction for people with disabilities and older people. Vignettes are short, first or third-person stories, that capture the meanings found in research conducted in these diverse contexts. We focussed specifically on community mobility as an everyday activity where intersectionality is experienced. This is an area in which the group have conducted research with diverse populations. In May and August 2024 we conducted World Café-style workshops with health and social care students and professionals from a range of disciplines, in Sweden and South Africa. This case study addresses the methodological and practical challenges we faced in (1) creating vignettes based on our previous research, (2) creating a World Café-style workshop to facilitate discussion on the vignettes, and (3) collaborating within an international team that spans three countries, seven institutions, and includes 15 members speaking six different home languages. We found vignettes are a feasible way for participants to gain a more nuanced understanding of intersectionality, and to facilitate interprofessional discussion among students and healthcare professionals. Vignettes can be created using previous research findings mirroring international contexts. Vignettes are also useful in amplifying participants’ voices, increasing representation, and capturing the complexity of simultaneously oppressive situations.
