How to listen to the sounds of everyday life? How to tell about your territory through sounds? The door slams, the bell rings, footsteps crunch, voices swarm… What sounds fill the life of a school? Sound portrait of Berthelot college in Le Mans by its students.
This episode was produced as part of the 2024 edition of the Le Mans Sonore Festival – International Sound Biennale, on the initiative of Caroline Venaille, teacher-researcher in language teaching at Le Mans University. At Berthelot College, teaching teams and their students thought about the sounds that would characterize their common territory. This research resulted in a collective creation orchestrated and recorded by Delphine Duchemin from CARTABLES FM radio and with the accompaniment of Monica Fantini.
