The MTG collaborates in the "Programa Professors i Ciència" (Teachers & Science program), funded by Fundació Catalunya Caixa.

The program offers high-school teachers the opportunity of taking part in scientific specialization courses at research centers in Catalonia. In this way, the program aims to bring research closer to educational institutions at the secondary level. The MTG organizes a course on sound & nature that takes place  at Poblenou Campus on November 9th and 16th, 2012.

The MTG organizes a workshop on "Sounds of Nature: The Nature of Sound" which is devoted to study natural sounds, their acoustic behavior and how to describe and generate them by means of a computer. The course provides a specific set of educational resources based on free tools and sounds so that the workshop content can be directly used in educational contexts. MTG researchers involved in this initiative are Agustín Martorell, Sonia Espí, Jaume Ferrete and Emilia Gómez.
