In June 2006, Adobe launched a new global philanthropic program, Adobe Youth Voices. The program engages 12-18 year-olds with digital tools to develop critical skills necessary to become active and engaged members of their communities. Through documentary filmmaking, animation, digital images, audio and web projects, these youth are encouraged to “create with purpose” and have a voice in changing their communities.
AnimAction was invited to collaborate as an animation training partner with Adobe Youth Voices partners iEARN, the world’s largest non-profit global network of K-12 educators and youth using technology to design and collaborate on projects that make a difference in the world, and Listen Up!, a leading youth media organization based out of New York, to conduct the workshops.
