With the title SONIC IMAGINATIONS, the 2023 rendition of the Sounding City Summer School focused on visualizing the sound of Struer in the past, present and future.

Together, the students created 6 imaginations, using sound and other techniques to tell about Struer Harbour, the history and cultural heritage of the area and the soundscapes we are already in.

Through sound recordings and fieldwork, the students created interactive proposals for how citizens and visitors can experience Struer now and in the future.

In the 2022 edition of the Sounding City Summer School, the students researched how residents in urban quarters, urban wilding environments and the landscapes surrounding the city, may interact with and through soundscapes and sonic interventions and become aware of sustainable cohabitation with the more-than-human life.

As a part of the summer school, the students solved cases which contributed to the collection of materials for Struer Museum's new project, Gademuseet (the Street Museum).

In 2021, the summer school explored how sound studies and urban studies connect in participatory audience engagement to make public spaces and urban environments spaces for democratizing processes.

The students worked with the following cases:

• The Harbour
• The Sound Cluster
• The Sound Garden
• Struer Railway Station
