You are invited to participate in the 2014 World Listening Day an 
annual  global event held on July 18.
The purposes of World Listening Day are to:

  * Celebrate the listening practices of the world and the ecology of
    its acoustic environments;
  * Raise awareness about the growing number of individual and group
    efforts that creatively explore the Acoustic Ecology based on the
    pioneering efforts of theWorld Soundscape Project
    <http://www.sfu.ca/%7Etruax/wsp.html>,World Forum for Acoustic
    Ecology <http://wfae.net/>,La Semaine du Son
    <http://www.lasemaineduson.org/>,Deep Listening Institute
    <http://deeplistening.org/>, among many others;
  * Design and implement educational initiatives that explore these
    concepts and practices.

This year's theme for World Listening Day is "Listen To You!" Some 
questions to consider:

  * How do you make yourself heard by others ?
  * How do you listen and what do you hear when you want to be unseen?
  * How might the sounds you produce adapt to your nearby environment?
  * What might a "listening ethic" be?
  * How might such an ethic apply particularly to understanding the
    relationship between humans and other living creatures?
