Adobe Youth Voices Program – Creating social change through the power of digital storytelling
The vision of Adobe Youth Voices (AYV) was to empower young people to harness creativity and digital skills to create change in their lives and their communities. Through a network of dedicated educators, Adobe Foundation has inspired young people to be intentional and impactful in their media making, to create with purpose.
Adobe Youth Voices (AYV) ignites young people’s Creative Confidence—the ability to harness creative skills to solve problems—thereby empowering them to find their voice and make it heard. AYV is the Adobe Foundation’s signature global initiative to increase creativity in education, which is critical to improving the lives of young people today and well into the future.
At the heart of AYV is an educational methodology that provides youth 13 to 18 years of age with the inspiration, training, and technology to create original media works on issues they care about. Since 2006, more than 5,000 educators and 190,000 youth from 60 countries have engaged in AYV programs to develop thought-provoking content on relationships, human rights, the environment, and other topics. Through these experiences, participants hone skills of self-expression, ideation, collaboration, flexibility, and persistence— the skills we regard as central to Creative Confidence.
This is a great opportunity for educators and educational institutions working with youth aged 13 – 18 and gives them a chance to integrate creative digital media programming into your work and curriculum.
