Project "Audio sightseeing"

With the support of the Riga City Council Department of Education, Culture and Sports, SOCINTEGRA implemented the project Audiovide.

The idea was born from a desire to describe what we see and to share love for our native city, its architecture, and its history.

To bring the project to life, SOCINTEGRA assembled a special team: stage speech specialists, a text author, a translator, and a narrator. Over several months, texts were written and translated, diction was refined, and numerous rehearsals and experiments were carried out.

The resulting audio novellas allow people with visual impairments to create a mental visual image of the city through listening. In this way, many people were introduced for the first time to the concept of audio description — short verbal explanations of visual images.
