Adobe Youth Voices (AYV)

Adobe Youth Voices is the Adobe Foundation’s global program designed to provide youth (especially from underserved communities) to use technology to explore and express their perspectives on issues impacting them and their communities.

Through Adobe Youth Voices, youth ages 13 to 18 create compelling videos, animations, photo essays, presentations, music, and other pieces that contribute the essential perspectives of youth to critical topics and inspire new solutions to long-standing problems.

Creating with Purpose!

Adobe Youth Voices - Educators

Comprehensive professional development Educators gain skills in effectively using digital tools

to teach across content areas. Educators learn new ways to encourage the use of

21st century skills.

Learning communities and collaboration

How do I integrate AYV work with what I am

already doing in school?

Clearly identify the media content, academic content, and learning skills that will be developed through the arts integrated curricular work

Brainstorm and list out primary inquiry questions Select the appropriate media form that will be the

hands-on vehicle for generating and representing new knowledge

Build a clear understanding of how hands-on activities connect to learning goals and specific content areas

Set an expectation that students will draw on research from sources outside the school and connect with community resources

Find opportunities to reflect and revise work with peers

Plan opportunities to engage with wider community
