TABLE8: Voices with Vision: Adobe Express for Authentic Advocacy

Empowering students to advocate for what matters to them builds confidence, agency, and a sense of purpose in their learning. According to the Student Voice report by the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), students who feel their voices are heard are seven times more likely to be academically motivated than those who do not. In this dynamic, hands-on session, educators will explore how Adobe Express can help students create powerful advocacy projects that blend creativity, communication, and real-world impact. Participants will explore project ideas like “What I Stand For” digital stories, “Be the Change” action campaigns, and PSA-style narrated slideshows. These projects give students authentic opportunities to design with intention, advocate for causes they care about, and inspire their communities. Educators will leave with classroom-ready examples, a resource packed with project ideas, and firsthand experience using Adobe Express to amplify student voice. Whether students are advocating for inclusion, environmental change, or school-wide kindness, this session equips teachers to turn creativity into meaningful student-led impact.
