Â鶹ԼÅÄ

Fi Glover introduces conversations between children, recorded at the CÂ鶹ԼÅÄ Live and Digital Festival in Hull, about sharing a room, playing rugby league, the benefits that come from joining the Cub Scouts, and learning to live in a new country. All in the Omnibus edition of the series that proves it's surprising what you hear when you listen. These conversations can be seen, animated, on the CÂ鶹ԼÅÄ website.

The Listening Project is a Radio 4 initiative that offers a snapshot of contemporary Britain in which people across the UK volunteer to have a conversation with someone close to them about a subject they've never discussed intimately before. The conversations are being gathered across the UK by teams of producers from local and national radio stations who facilitate each encounter. Every conversation - they're not Â鶹ԼÅÄ interviews, and that's an important difference - lasts up to an hour, and is then edited to extract the key moment of connection between the participants. Most of the unedited conversations are being archived by the British Library and used to build up a collection of voices capturing a unique portrait of the UK in the second decade of the millennium.
