Workshop Objectives:
● To provide students with the opportunity to participate in a soundwalk and create a sound collage as they walk the chosen itinerary as a group.
● Teach students how to use the Borderline app;
● Encourage students to consider how sounds can be indicative of other urban, natural and human processes.

For this event participants should bring an IPhone with an internet or data connection, with the Borderline app downloaded. 

The registered people who are going to participate in the workshop will be divided into three groups. They will receive an email with instructions on how to download the app and to which group they belong.
Each group will be guided by one of the curators of the exhibition and will have the virtual support of a member of the Borderline team.
The Borderline team has selected three routes around the University of Navarra that are within 15 minutes walking distance. Each curator will be assigned to one of the routes. Each route will specify 2-3 categories that will be the focal point of their route (musical sounds, animals, sounds of ambiguous provenance...).

The artist and her Borderline project team will download the data collected in the sound walks and use it to produce a collaborative sound map that will be presented in the exhibition. Environment Encounter Explorationat the Museum's Tower Hall.
