Raising awareness

Our team has been conducting workshops and soundwalks, giving demonstrations and presentations in schools, workplaces, festivals, and community centers.

We also participate in public consultations activities, working groups, professional training and disseminate our research findings in the media (press, TV, radio, blogs, social media) through videos, pamphlets and comic books. We also develop soundscape simulation tools for different users (general public and professional of the built environment).

For details, please contact: Daniel Steele, Catherine Guastavino

Web-documentaries were presented at Montreal International Documentary Festival in November 2019 and are available online at http://paysages-sonores.ca/.
