The Adobe Youth Voices Essentials Program is a free curriculum that supports media creation within curriculum areas. This program provides tools and lessons that support youth and teachers as they explore issues for which they are passionate while promoting 21st Century skills, critical literacy, media production and inquiry based learning. During this workshop, we will introduce participants to the program, view media that was created by youth, invite participants to participate in critical response with media and provide practical classroom tips and tricks for using media with students while meeting curriculum expectations in several core subjects.
