We are producing resources and guidelines for educators and communicators to use sound (and other multi-sensory approaches) to make engaging and accessible workshops, exhibitions and lessons. If you are an educator or communicator and wish to find out more, please contact us at contactaudiouniverse@gmail.com.
We create educational audio-visual shows, using sound. Our shows are designed to be accessible to people with all levels of vision, and has proven to be engaging for a variety of special educational needs and disability groups. We've made these shows for planetariums, flat screen formats and audio-only formats.
We are developing multi-sensory, accessible educational workshops and exhibitions. The workshops combine auditory, tactile and visual elements to make them engaging and accessible for broad audiences. You can obtain information about how to run these on our Educational Workshops page.
We have also compiled a list of "good practises" that we learnt, which we hope can help guide accessible show and workshop development. With our Sonification Suite, there are further dedicated guidelines and suggestions for different audiences in those pages too.
A core part of our work is produceing multi-sensory activities and resources. These aim to be inclusive for students, and the general public, who are blind or have low vision and those with other Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND). This 1 minute video includes SEND pupils, and their teacher, discussing the benefits of our work and collaboration with them (video credit: Newcastle City Council).
