The problem of refugees in the song “Amor em tempo de muros” (Love in a time of walls) de Pedro Abrunhosa

 

The students who participated in LTTA Italy (February 2019) were impressed with the visit to the refugee reception centre in Reggio-Calabria, they brought this theme to the Erasmus Club and shared the experience with their colleagues through reports and photos so everyone was more attentive to the problem which almost daily appears in the news. Regarding the theme, in Portuguese language classes they analysed the lyrics of the song "Amor em tempo de muros" by Pedro Abrunhosa (a well-known Portuguese singer). The intention was to personally interview the singer. The students contacted him and he kindly replied but in the immediate impossibility of giving them the interview, he referred them to an interview that he had given to a television channel precisely about that song and the refugee’s problem in America but also in Europe and about the role of artists and their social position in raising awareness of social problems.
