Irene Gianordoli (Federal Research Center for Forests) reported on her Forest Groove project. Using a microphone instead of a microscope, this project creates an innovative bridge between nature and music, promotes interdisciplinary cooperation and makes the biodiversity of the forest audible to a wide audience. In partnership with the Natural History Museum Vienna, WienXtra Soundbase and Radio Orange, the project aims to explore the acoustic diversity of these unique ecosystems. Pupils from the Deutschordenstraße educational campus, which is home to a kindergarten, an elementary school, a secondary school and a music school, are actively involved in this exciting research journey.
Marlene Wagner and Andrea Schlager (University for Continuing Education Krems) presented the project Hybrid Teaching-Learning Spaces in Schools, which investigates the conditions for success and potential of hybrid learning environments. It relies on close cooperation with four commercial academies in the Waldviertel region, which offer cross-location training focuses in a virtual classroom. These schools are actively contributing their experience and needs to the research in order to ensure that the scenarios developed meet real school requirements.
The recording of the presentations is available to watch on YouTube
