About Sounding City Summer School

Learn more about Sounding City Summer School and what it entails.

SOUNDING CITY SUMMER SCHOOL explores how we connect in sound and soundscapes.

We co-create sonic interventions and tell audio stories to engage our environments, neighborhoods, histories and to design for better future states.

 With SOUNDING CITY SUMMER SCHOOL, you move out of campus to a local community, where you engage with stakeholders to propose solutions to real-life challenges.

During a 2-week stay in Struer – City of Sound, you will meet and work with sound art labsters and artists, local stakeholders and companies, audiences and residents to solve challenges for which you and your team will conceptualise, test, prototype and present bespoke sonic recommendations or solutions.
