The purpose of our project was to assist Kat Austen with improving the techniques used in This Land is Not Mine to suggest methods for her upcoming Jiu Valley Sounds project in a former mining area in Romania. First, we determined effective methods for implementing such projects remotely. Then, we developed a smartphone application prototype to assist in community participation. Finally, we recommended an outreach plan to Studio Austen to increase engagement in Jiu Valley Sounds and beyond.
