ABSTRACT: This paper describes the activities of a workshop with a group of students, taught at the event “Coletânea Arq-Urb 2015”, at University of Vila Velha. The workshop aimed to present the theme of Soundscapes and identify Sound Events of open spaces with public use at Prainha, a neighborhood in the city of Vila Velha, Espírito Santo. The historic and foundational character of this area to the state of Espírito Santo justified its spatial delimitation. Measurements were taken on a collective Soundwalk with drifting paths on October 28th 2015, during 10 minutes. The collected data were systemized on a map and the sound files were shared in an online platform. This paper describes the content presented, activities practiced and considerations on the analysis done in group. The results indicate the acoustic perception of the students and also contribute with data for the development of a methodology for collective sound mapping activities.
