The 2012 World Listening Day happens on Wednesday, July 18th. The purposes of World Listening Day are:
to celebrate different ways we can focus on our soundscape (sonic environment);
to raise awareness about the acoustic ecology movement, including ideas regarding how noise pollution can be reduced; and
to introduce new educational initiatives and community events related to listening and acoustic ecology.
Participation in the 2012 World Listening Day focuses on the aforementioned goals, which could include listening parties, listening to one’s soundscape in private, private or public soundwalks, public forums about acoustic ecology, and more. What would you like to do on the 2012 World Listening Day?
