About this listen

This episode of Sound Stories features a discussion with three Mitacs Globalink interns at the Centre for Sound Communities: Mariia Chyrva, from Ukraine, Hou Lingxiao, from China, and Mateus Alves da Silva, from Brazil.

The interns detail their professional development and the significant cultural research they have undertaken during their current time inside The Centre for Sound Communities.










Beyond technical proficiency, the episode focuses on the interns' deep engagement with local cultures on Cape Breton Island, also known as Unama’ki.

They describe their meaningful interactions with members of the Mi’kmaq community and the local Ukrainian diaspora.




Ultimately, the interns reflect on how this experience has allowed them to grow as media creators and connect with a deeper understanding of culture and community.

They express a shared commitment to carrying these lessons into their future work, aiming to contribute actively to the preservation of cultural heritage both at home and beyond.
