The Miramar City Council has received a grant of €10,000 from the Diputació de València to draft the European project ACOUSTIC, focused on territorial sound mapping and coexistence.

The initiative, part of the European Creative programme of the European Union, proposes the creation of a European cultural cooperation space centered on soundscapes, through research, artistic creation, and citizen participation. ACOUSTIC will use research, artistic creation, and citizen participation to explore three characteristic environments of Miramar: the beach, the urban center—with prominence given to the Unió Musical de Miramar—and the Marjal de la Safor wetlands.
The proposal involves transnational cooperation between the Miramar City Council, the Paesaggi Sonori Laboratory at SUPSI (Switzerland), and Locus Sonus at the École supérieure d’art d’Aix-en-Provence (France). Planned activities include participatory sound recording workshops, the creation of three interactive sound maps, an open digital platform, an immersive sound dome, and dissemination activities.
ACOUSTIC aims to highlight the municipality's cultural and natural heritage, foster intercultural coexistence, promote citizen participation, and explore new forms of artistic expression and environmental awareness through sound. With this initiative, Miramar reinforces its commitment to culture, innovation, and European cooperation.
