Note:
This education project implemented as part of a large program of the Goethe-Institute in Central Asia - "Music of the Glacier."
In the summer of 2012 the project held an expedition with Goethe Institute - Almaty Tuyuksu Glacier and installed a highly sensitive microphone to record the sounds of the glacier, they are also called "the breath of the glacier." In early August 2012, these sounds have been passed to Central Asian artists for mixing them with music or create other pieces of art. The sounds of the glacier will be used in the creation of the "Green Pack for Central Asia – the Glacier Edition."
It concerns the convergence of art and scientific points of view, and the intersection of art, culture, education and science, with the aim of strengthening cooperation among stakeholders and identify ways and prospects for making unusual decisions. This is particularly important for the success and progress of the project results widely in the Central Asianregion and Europe.
