Νassam alayna el hawa / The air breezed upon us

 

The air breezed upon us

from the road of the valley

Oh breeze, for lover’s sake, take me home

 

Oh love, oh love that is flying in the breeze

there is a flower, a small window and a picture

Take me home, oh breeze

 

I’m scared, oh my heart, growing up in this foreing land

my home wouldn’t recognize me

take me, take me, take me home.

The air breezed upon us, from the road of the valley

Oh breeze, for lover’s sake, take me home

 

What’s with us? what’s with us?

Oh my darling what’s with us?

We were together and you used to stay with us

and now we’re separated, what’s with us?

 

And now the sun is still crying on the door and doesn’t speak

and the breeze, beloved one, is saying

take me, take me, take me home

The air breezed upon us, from the road of the valley

Oh breeze, for lover’s sake, take me home

Navigation Guide

To create your own path through the platform, it is crucial to start with the testimony videos of people with refugee and migration experiences. Their voices are essential to understanding “the others”, as engaging with them offers a powerful way to better understand society as a whole.

  • Place your cursor over the photos and icons to view descriptions and select a testimony.

  • Search the material by categories, types, or keywords (Menu → Repository).

  • At the end of each video, review the icon descriptions and explore the related materials.

On VOLARE you will also find suggested “learning pathways” through the testimonies and accompanying materials, which are not restrictive or exclusive. The VOLARE team encourages visitors to create their own pathway of understanding, according to their educational context and interests.

The VOLARE digital platform:

  • Designed for educators, university students and secondary school students.

  • Employs participatory ethnographic approaches, integrating testimony and multimodality as tools in the educational process.

  • Offers a living archive of videos, texts and multimodal resources on migration and refugee experiences.

  • Creates a space for listening to and understanding the experiences of migrants, refugees and members of minority groups, with the aim of being used within secondary and higher education courses.

It includes:

  • Video-testimonies from people with refugee and migrant backgrounds in Greece, Bulgaria and France. Each research team chose its own way of filming and framing the testimonies, engaging uniquely with each person.

  • Video-contributions from educators, legal experts, artists and activists working in the field, who offer their own perspectives on this encounter.

  • Each testimony is accompanied by sources of knowledge (articles, books, reports, etc.) and additional multimodal materials (films, artworks, museums, games, databases, etc.).

  • Twelve songs in different languages, selected and recorded exclusively for VOLARE.

  • Podcasts featuring a wide range of people connected to VOLARE’s themes.
