Soundscapes. Sound and the specificity of places and communities
24 and 25 March 2012 from 9am to 18pm
Duration: 15 hours, 0.6 credits for teachers in the 2nd and 3rd cycle and secondary education
Space and sound are inseparable in our experience of what is there in the world. The concept of soundscape emerged in the ’60s, specifically through the need to orient attention to the role of the acoustic context in the understanding of each territory, site etc.. This action aims at developing methods of acquiring skills in working with students for the use of sound as a tool of great value to the discovery of a territory and its communities or an actual physical space (a site or monument, for example), incorporating a multidisciplinary approach in learning the use of tools from different scientific areas / techniques (in the areas of history, citizenship, environment, art, music, information technology, etc..).
