WORLD LISTENING DAY 
http://www.worldlisteningproject.org/?p=667http://www.sfu.ca/~truax/wsp.htmlhttp://www.chicagoartistsresource.org/music/node/26550The first World Listening Day, which happens on Sunday, July 18, 2010.
The purposes of World Listening Day are:To celebrate the practice of listening as it relates to the world around us, environmental awareness, and acoustic ecology; to raise awareness about issues related to the World Soundscape Project, World Listening Project, World Forum for Acoustic Ecology, and individual and group efforts to creatively explore phonography; and to design and implement educational initiatives which explore these concepts and practices.
World Listening Day is being organized by the World Listening Project, in partnership with the Midwest Society for Acoustic Ecology. July 18 was chosen as the date for World Listening Day because it is the birthday of the Canadian composer R. Murray Schafer, who is one of the founders of the Acoustic Ecology movement. The World Soundscape Project, which Schafer directed, is an important organization which has inspired a lot of activity in this field, and his book The Soundscape: Our Sonic Environment and the Tuning of the World helped to define many of the terms and background behind the acoustic ecology movement.
