"Adobe Youth Voices has shown me that it is possible to join people together from around the world using technology. Creating means to materialize the social inclusion of people who otherwise have little access to the world of technology. Adobe Youth Voices is a brilliant and innovative initiative because the world need new ideas from youth voices."
— Anna Flavia Pinheiro, 18, BrazilAdobe Youth Voices at TakingITGlobal
Through Adobe Youth Voices, TakingITGlobal creates connections with NGOs, educational institutions and youth organizations in an effort to engage youth aged 13-18.
TakingITGlobal carefully selects partner organizations from its vast network and provides them with the tools and training required to implement local youth media programs. Our partner organizations deliver exciting programming for the youth in their communities with the goal of creating meaningful multimedia artwork that is youth-created and educator-facilitated.
We are commited to ensuring that the work of our participants is given global visibility. We work with our partners to provide a range of platforms for youth media projects to be exhibited and youth voices to be heard by international audiences.
TakingITGlobal and Adobe Youth Voices have been working together since 2010 to provide opportunities and tools for youth to use their voices and express themselves. Currently we are working with 50 diverse organizations all over the world. By the end of the year, we will have reached over 3,000 youth worldwide.
