“Sonic Postcards” was originally a project run about fifteen years ago by the Sonic Arts Network – now Sound and Music. It was a way for children from across the UK, and beyond, to send and receive short audio depictions of their environment. The project promoted focused, active listening; Sonic Postcards brought about the idea of “A Minute of Listening”.
In Camden we are encouraging schools to get involved in a new version of the project, recording sounds from their own environments to share and exchange with children in other schools.
Here’s an introduction to the Camden Sonic Postcards Project

We’re looking forward to sharing Sonic Postcards from across the borough.
