_LISTENING TO OURSELVES________

We examine different ways in which the act of listening can be guided to enhance and develop self awareness and the awareness of others, and become a thread that binds core selfhoods between individuals.

_EARLY YEARS & SEN LISTENERS____

A great way to motivate young people to listen to their surroundings and be active using their ears, learning different ways to use sound as means of understanding the world around them.

_LISTENING SPACES______________

We expand the concept of the space around us, exploring sounds in close proximity to our ears and those that exist on the further reaches of our hearing capabilities.

REDUCE SCREEN TIME You can listen on the go. Many of the workshops do not require you to stare at the screen.

So plug in headphones and close the screen, just listen.
