When the dust settles

DANA's urban echoes

When the dust settles

💔 Dana's Urban Echoes 💔

Valencia streets, rain pelts relentless, merciless sight

Drowning dreams, cityscape fades in the night

Soul soaked, mind choked, echoes of disaster loud

Staggered hope, what's left in this shroud?

--

Storm's gone, but the heart still swims in pain

Floods recede but shadows stain the brain

Wake from nightmares, sights you can't unsee

Lost in normalcy’s ghost; will we ever be free?

--

Memories drippin,’ homes washed away

Stress hangs like clouds, won't see the day

Anxiety, depression seeping through the cracks

DANA took more than just lives; it ain't coming back

--

Picassos of puddles, Picasso of splintered wood

Grief floods our souls more than the water could

Bills in the attic, dreams in the basement

Sense of loss, another displaced statement

--

Raindrop panic, every drizzle’s a weapon

PTSD rising with the tide, no steppin'

Connections ripped, threads of life torn

Waking up from deluge, but forever war worn

--

Battlin' stress, depression’s deep channel flow

Anxiety lurks where the drowning fears grow

Valencia's heart fractured, spirit in bind

Search for peace, but it's so hard to find

URBAN ECHOES PROJECT

The URBAN ECHOES project aims to promote civic engagement and participation among 100 young people at the consortium level. By participating in project-based learning training programs, the young people will map disaster areas, document emotions and memories, and create content for educational games, documentaries, podcasts, and virtual museums. This engagement will strengthen community ties and instill a sense of responsibility.
Natural disasters significantly impact society, affecting communities emotionally, socially, and economically, especially the younger generation. With its comprehensive and innovative approach, the URBAN ECHOES project can bring long-term benefits. It helps to address these challenges by providing innovative educational methods and platforms that encourage youth participation. It offers solutions to build resilience and hope in emotionally affected communities. The project aims to empower young people, foster innovation in education, promote collaboration, and positively impact communities affected by earthquakes, fires, and floods.

"When Dust Settles"

JR (Sanfoga) and DW /Eduagility produced the video and the original prompt lyrics using five AI software. The video powerfully reminds us of the significant impact on society, economics, and mental health when urban planning is not properly implemented due to politics and a lack of policies.
