Soundscapes in the 900’s
The project "Soundscapes of the Lecce area in the 900’s: between the mountain and the river" developed as a proposal for school-territory integration that promoted the collaboration between primary schools, lower secondary schools and rest homes of the territory on the theme of sound landscape. The sounds of the past, remembered and narrated by the people who experienced them, met the contemporary soundscape of the neighbouring area, selected by the students and filtered through their sensitivity.
