The UNESCO DigiArts Team invites young students and teachers to reflect on the theme of "scenes and sounds of my city" and to send to UNESCO a joint project proposal in group work that focuses on a specific topic or issue in relation to their urban environment or their experiences within urban surroundings.

Special Session 2006

This project will be realized through a running session of the Scenes and Sounds of My City web-based learning application, which is designed for young people (12-18 years old) to collaboratively use creative digital tools in expressing their visions on urban topics.

Through participation in this session, young people will have opportunities to:
1. Express their ideas, reflections, viewpoints on their own urban environment through creative productions using digital media

2. Interact with their young peers from different regions, countries, cultures

3. Use ICT resources and creative tools and obtain skills of manipulating different digital and online applications.

At the end of the session, the best projects will be selected and presented at an international electronic arts festival. A number of young delegates among the participants will also be invited to this festival to transform their digital pieces into physical urban installations in public spaces.
