Self Guided: Voices on the Streets

What’s on offer?

A ‘sound journey’ around Liverpool city centre. This is a self-guided audio tour lasting about 90 minutes, if completed in full. The tour is accessed through the free ‘Echoes’ app via smart phone or tablet.

Echoes App and “Voices on the Streets” Tour can be downloaded here: https://explore.echoes.xyz/collections/0iwFaB9fhAQe14n6 .

We recommend that you bring headphones for the best experience and use WiFi to download the app and the walk before you begin in order to save data

What’s it about?

At each stop on the tour, you can listen to a community-created poem or biographical story. The content has been written and performed by different community groups in the city, and is based on University research that the groups explored in creative workshops. It covers topics such as migration, food, environment, civic identity and what it means to be Scouse.

Who’s leading the event?

Sam Solnick and Sophie Oliver (Senior Lecturers in English Literature, University of Liverpool) alongside staff from Collective Encounters, an arts organisation specialising in ‘Theatre for Social Change’.
