Amplify Youth Video Voices Lab supports young people to explore video storytelling in flexible, accessible and consent-safe ways.

Learners can choose video, audio, images, slides, text or behind-the-scenes roles.

Learners can find a topic, choose a message and shape their story with a plan or storyboard.
Build and check access
Learners can plan media, consider captions and transcripts, and identify what helps them take part.
Review and decide
Learners can review their project and choose whether to keep it private, share in a limited way, or consider future showcase review if appropriate.
App note: The app-based learning platform is not yet live. Current resources can still support program enquiries, referral conversations and partner preparation.

Referral pathway principles
Referral conversations should be simple, accessible and consent-aware.
- Partner or referrer reads the program information.
- Partner shares plain-language information with the young person and/or supporter.
- The young person chooses whether they are interested.
- The young person, supporter or referrer contacts EduLinked.
- EduLinked reviews access, consent and support needs.
- EduLinked confirms the appropriate next step.
Access and inclusion expectations
Partners and referrers should support accessibility-first participation.
Ask what helps
Use the question: “What helps this young person take part?”
Respect no-camera options
No-camera participation, voice-only, text-only and behind-the-scenes roles are valid.
Support communication access
Use plain language, captions, transcripts, typing or supporter-assisted communication where relevant.
Reduce pressure
Support breaks, quiet options, shorter steps and flexible participation where possible.
Consent, privacy and media safety
Creating a project is different from sharing a project.
Participation and creation
Learners may take part and create work without agreeing to public sharing.
Review before sharing
Projects should be reviewed before any sharing. Learners can request changes or decide later.
Sharing levels
Sharing may include tutor/group sharing, showcase review or online sharing only where consent and review are complete.
Keep private
Keeping a project private is a valid outcome.
Partners should not publish, repost, screen, photograph, identify or promote participant work without confirmed consent and EduLinked agreement.
Support and tutoring options
Support may be offered for story ideas, storyboards, media planning, captions, transcripts, review or sharing choices.
Story support
Support may help learners find a story idea and choose how to take part.
Planning support
Support may help with outlines, storyboards, captions, transcripts and media planning.
Tutoring support
Tutoring and app-based support options depend on staffing, funding, scheduling and platform availability.
Showcase and community participation
A future showcase, screening or community participation pathway may be explored, but public sharing is optional and not guaranteed.
- Showcase review should be optional.
- Learners should not be pressured to appear, speak or disclose.
- Caption, transcript and access requirements should be considered.
- Submission for review does not guarantee screening.
