Sons del Cel
A wide range of activities and educational proposals to raise awareness of the sound environment and to acquire strategies that help reduce noise pollution in the classroom and at school
Description
Sons del Cel is a cross-disciplinary educational project promoted by the Palau de la Música Catalana, the Meteorological Service of Catalonia (MeteoCat), the Barcelona Institute for Global Health (ISGlobal), and the Natural Science Museum of Barcelona, with the support of the Spanish Foundation for Science and Technology (FECYT) of the Ministry of Science and Innovation.
This is an educational pathway that, from a multidisciplinary perspective, aims to address a global issue that affects all of society: noise pollution. Through artistic, scientific, environmental, and health-related approaches, children will develop skills and knowledge that will enable them to become aware of their sound environment, with the goal of finding strategies to reduce noise pollution in the classroom and at school.In other words, this project promotes skill-based learning that is transferable, meaningful, lasting, productive, and functional.
The project runs throughout the school year. Participating students take part in two workshops on sound exploration and music creation at school, attend a concert-show at the Palau de la Música Catalana, take part in a sound recording workshop at the Botanical Garden, and finally participate in a closing summit. All workshops are delivered by educators or artists connected to the promoting institutions, and complementary materials are regularly provided so that the music, science or tutoring departments at school can continue to deepen the topics covered.
