The article examines in what ways does the soundscape call out to our bodies to move through space in a culturally and affective determinate manner. It brings forward issues of spatial interpretative related to our affective practices questioning what are the elements that condition our relation to the urban environment. It then further connects the soundscape and the making of place through exploring listening as a participatory act in which we listen and create at the same time. The soundscape is not only an intrinsic part of the making of place but is also a participatory process that influences our navigation of the said urban space.

ending sonic environment. We hear, we always hear, even in our sleep, even if we are
not really aware. But what do we listen to?
Écoute reflects on our ways of listening. As Ingold (2007) argues, we are listening in
sound, having our bodies’ ensounded by the urban soundscape. Our bodies vibrate
with sound from the flesh and bones to our memories. We are moved, quite literally.
Écoute wants to present a sonic postcard, a memory of place. It evokes yesterday's
memories but also tomorrow's possibilities. New days, with new sounds that may
leave another imprint in our bodies, and change our making of place.
We want to examine the evaluation process behind the implementation of STEM related activities and research in Education. In particular, this article systematically reviews how have science education activities been assessed using arts-based methods (may they be digital or analogue) in Education ranging from primary to higher education. The article has a focus on examining the presence and role of experiential aspects in the aforementioned evaluation. At the same time, it investigates the ways in which these experiential aspects have impacted the scientific activity's reception or the lack of thereof, making an argument for embodied processes of learning and transmitting STEM in order to improve the reach of scientific activities. It concludes with an argument for the inclusion of experiential aspects both in educational scientific activities and as evaluation indicators.
