DIGITAL MEDIA
In 2010, GFC partnered with the Adobe Foundation to participate in Adobe Youth Voices, a program that empowers young people to share their voices and express their understanding of the world through the use of new media technology. Below is a link to our website devoted to this project.
Girls and women in many parts of the world are deprived of opportunities for education and advancement, especially in the realm of technology. In 2009, we launched an experimental program to address this issue by providing young women with training in video production. The participating girls learned to how to use media to amplify their voices and share their stories with a wider audience, while toolkits detailing the process were developed to help guide other community-based organizations in the future. By sharing these toolkits, we hope other organizations will develop programs that teach girls and young women how to harness the power of digital media.
