Listen Up! and Adobe partner on Adobe Youth Voices, a new global initiative empowering youth to create with purpose.
Adobe Youth Voices is Adobe's global philanthropic initiative that empowers youth worldwide to comment on their world using multimedia and digital tools to communicate and share their ideas, demonstrate their potential, and take action in their communities. Adobe Youth Voices employs an integrated approach in and out of the classroom to show the power technology brings to learning and enable middle-and high-school aged youth to think creatively, communicate effectively, and work collaboratively-critical 21st century skills.
Adobe has organized a unique collaborative of leading youth media nonprofit organizations with strong track records, global experience, and a common vision, including Listen Up!, Arts Engine, Inc., Educational Video Center, What�Kids Can Do and iEARN.
The initiative will engage youth from marginalized communities in exploring and commenting on their world using video, multimedia, digital art, web, animation, and audio; enhance the skills and knowledge of educators to use the tools more effectively with youth; and widely exhibit the student work in community, broadcast and online forums.
