ROMANIA
Task: MUSICAL INTELLIGENCE
The Romanian Mobility theme was Musical Intelligence and that was the reason for which we focused on different ways of understanting music. Music has always been part of our daily existance, since ancient times to the modern days. We tried to cover this variety emphasising the ways in which nature (including plants and animals, birds), people and technology (including the musical clocks) understand and use music to convey feelings.
Our activities were the following.
