Project overview
Amplify Youth brings together accessible creative learning, digital storytelling, youth voice and community participation.
Young storytellers
Supporting young people to explore ideas, identity, creativity, advocacy and communication through storytelling.
Flexible formats
Stories may be created through video, audio, images, slides, text, captions, transcripts or behind-the-scenes roles.
Accessibility-first
The project asks what helps each young person take part, rather than requiring one fixed way to participate.
Amplify Youth Video Voices Lab
The Video Voices Lab is the current accessible video storytelling pathway within Amplify Youth.
It supports learners to develop story ideas, choose participation options, understand captions and transcripts, review media before sharing, and make consent-safe choices.
The program is live. The app-based learning platform is not yet live.
How the project supports participation
Amplify Youth supports young people through flexible, consent-aware and accessible steps.
Learn and choose
Young people can learn what the pathway involves and choose what helps them take part.
Find and shape a story
Young people can develop a story idea, message, outline, storyboard or creative plan.
Build and check access
Young people can plan media and consider captions, transcripts, communication access and privacy.
Review and decide
Young people can review their work and decide whether to keep it private, share with support, or consider a future showcase pathway.
Access and participation principles
Amplify Youth is designed to reduce pressure and make space for different ways of taking part.
Ask what helps
The preferred access question is: “What helps you take part?”
No camera required
Young people can participate without appearing on camera.
Low-pressure options
Breaks, quiet space, written instructions, examples and flexible pacing may support participation.
Communication access
Captions, transcripts, plain language, AAC-aware support and text-based options can help.
Consent, privacy and sharing
Creating a project is different from sharing a project.
Create privately
A young person can create a story project and keep it private.
Review before sharing
Projects should be reviewed before any sharing. Changes can be requested before sharing.
Consent first
Public sharing, showcase review and online sharing require consent and review.
