Adobe Foundation
The Adobe Foundation supports Eastside Educational Trust through its global signature philanthropy program, Adobe Youth Voices and through donations of Adobe software.
Eastside's - Adobe Youth Voices project - links young people in London with young people in America through the media of film, photography and spoken word. Our focus is very much on developing the skills of young people and building on their interests. We go beyond skills development with this project and encourage young people to celebrate what is positive, to showcase their creativity and to share this with young people across the world.
The Adobe Foundation aims to empower youth from underserved communities to use technology to explore and express their perspectives on issues impacting them and their communities. Through Adobe Youth Voices, young people (13 - 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.
A message from the Adobe Foundation: By partnering with media organizations and advocates for youth expression, such as Eastside Educational Trust, and others, Adobe Youth Voices provides youth with a global audience to see and hear what they have to say. Through increased engagement in learning and stronger development of technical, creative, and problem-solving skills, Adobe Youth Voices is transforming how educators, working in or out of schools, teach and how youth learn. For everyone involved, education becomes more relevant and meaningful. The result is that youth can develop a renewed commitment to education and realize the profound contribution they can make when given the chance. Also critical, communities worldwide gain vital insight into issues impacting today's youth.
