In 2008, Binaural Nodar launched its first educational project entitled “Sound villages”, a project that consisted of recording, editing and mapping the acoustic heritage of rural villages in parallel with its geographical, historical and socio-cultural mapping. The project involved primary and secondary schools in rural areas, having started in the academic year 2008-2009 at the Secondary School of S. Pedro do Sul and passed through other municipalities such as Arouca and Vila Nova de Paiva. \u201cSound villages\u201d encourages students from rural areas to \u201copen their ears\u201d to the acoustic world that surrounds them, involving them in an analytical and collaborative process of capturing, editing and publishing on the internet specific sound environments of each village or rural landscape. During the multiple field sessions carried out with rural children and youth, more than a hundred sound recordings were captured, currently included in the Binaural Nodar Digital Archive.<\/p>\n
Taking into account the results of that first educational project, in the following years Binaural Nodar deepened its educational methodologies, in growing articulation with municipalities such as S\u00e3o Pedro do Sul, Vouzela, Castro Daire and Viseu and their respective school directions and more than two dozen new workshops were developed, involving aspects related to the perception of both natural and cultural heritage and the expressiveness potential that it includes. Examples are: \u201cHuman field recordings\u201d, \u201cDiscovering the rural phonosphere\u201d, \u201cVouzela Sonora\u201d, \u201cI hear, I remember, I feel\u201d, \u201cChildren on the loose at the ethnographic museum\u201d, \u201cSketch & Sound\u201d, \u201cCage \/ Objects\u201d, \u201cSonic vegetable garden\u201d, \u201cTalking books\u201d, \u201cImaginary sounds\u201d, \u201cNature orchestra\u201d, \u201cNoise Lab – experimenting with John Cage\u201d and many others.<\/p>\n
