Hey everybody, in the spirit of sounds we wanted to give World Listening Day ( today, July 18th, 2010) a shout out here on Street Sounds. According to The World Listing Project (WLP), World Listening Day has the purpose:

• To celebrate the practice of listening as it relates to the world around us, environmental awareness, and acoustic ecology
• To raise awareness about issues related to the World Soundscape Project, World Listening Project, World Forum for Acoustic Ecology, and individual and group efforts to creatively explore phonography
• To design and implement educational initiatives which explore these concepts and practices
  

Because we also champion the exploration of sounds here at Street Sounds, we want to encourage you all to participate. Here are some ways in which you can do so:

· You can set aside some time when you pay attention to your soundscape.
· You can organize a listening party when people play field recordings.
· You can organize a soundwalk.
· Other possibilities… - let us know what you're doing to celebrate World Listening Day

Have fun!
