What does grass sound like when it sways in the wind? What sounds do insects hidden among the shrubs make? How does a park change when we close our eyes and focus solely on listening? We invite families with children (aged 6 and up) to embark on an extraordinary journey into the world of sounds in Lublin\u2019s People’s Park.<\/strong><\/p>\n During this family sound walk, we will momentarily set aside what we see in order to discover the richness of sounds that often go unnoticed in our everyday lives. We will listen closely to the rustling of leaves and the voices of the park\u2019s many inhabitants, experiencing the natural world from an entirely new perspective.
