The educational project “Aldeias Sonoras” (“Sound Villages”) which consists in recording and mapping the acoustic heritage of rural areas by young people of the regions where the project is developed, has been following the river Paiva during its 2010 edition, integrated in the activities of “Paivascapes # 1.
After having having passed the municiplaities of Moimenta Beira and Vila Nova de Paiva, the project returns to the municipality of S. Pedro do Sul (where the project had its first cycle in 2008/09) for a set of recordings to be made in July and August 2010 by young people on vacation from the Paiva’s riverside villages of Nodar and Ameixiosa.
Finally it is noted that the sound recordings of this 2010 edition have started to be updated on the site http://www.aldeias-sonoras.org
