GSVAT25: Soundscapes in the Landscape

In this course, you’ll explore a variety of outdoor environments and collect found sounds that reflect your personal journey. You’ll reflect on each recording using the 7Rs framework, take four meaningful photos, and create a final 5-minute soundscape using only the sounds you’ve gathered. You’ll also design a 2-hour outdoor group workshop, using your reflections and creative process to shape a session for others.
Please make sure to read through all the lessons in the course to fully understand the requirements before you begin.
