Shhh, Please
Shhh, Please is an educational initiative about noise pollution. During the school year, teachers learn to identify the main sources of noise at their school and the specific areas of the school where noise may reverberate.
This training shows teachers how to convey the knowledge and learning acquired to their students. In addition, students will be encouraged to measure noise levels with sound level meters and seek ways to reduce them.
There are three training sessions for new teachers during the year, one of which is optional. Two training sessions, one of which is optional, are available to schools that have been members of the network for some time. New schools carry out an analysis at the school, and veteran schools draw up a noise map of their surrounding area.
