In this project, which was attended by people with different backgrounds living in Ioannina, a song was created by Hasan, a European Solidarity Corps volunteer, and a teenager from Congo. Moreover, a workshop was implemented on how to become a songwriter, attempting to reveal the sense of art in every person.

Many activities were organized and lyrics were written to a determined beat together with the participants. A professional song was produced and interpreted with  the participants.

Refugees get ripped away from everything they know; their homes, their friends, their family. War, violence, or just not feeling safe forces them to pack up and head to Greece, looking for a safe place to start a new and better life. But things aren't always sunshine and rainbows when they get there. This magazine is all about giving refugees a voice and understanding what is really happening behind the migration crisis. We want to tell their stories, the good but also the bad. We also want to shine a light on the challenges they face every single day in Greece. This magazine is about building bridges and as the title says; open new united horizons, creating connections, and making sure refugees feel welcome, not forgotten. Come and join us, during these pages you will discover some of the problems that refugees face when trying to start a new life in Greece.
