Migrantour Utrecht

Migrantour Utrecht offers a 2-hour guided walking tour co-created and led by people with migration and asylum-seeking backgrounds. Set in Utrecht's Lombok neighbourhood, the tour provides participants with fresh and nuanced perspective on the joys and challenges surrounding diversity today and in the past. Alongside the tours, we also offer tailor-made diversity & inclusion workshops for organisations, schools and companies that make use of arts-based and transformative learning methods. We believe that sharing personal stories offers valuable perspective and creates meaningful bonds between people. This is why we set our feet on the streets to discover places through stories and together pave grassroots paths towards greater social inclusion. Our guided walking tours create spaces of intercultural encounter with heart that foster more expansive understandings of cultural heritage, reshaping mental maps and expanding horizons on our shared humanity. This is how we walk the talk of the African proverb,'the footprints of people who walked together are never erased'. Migrantour Utrecht is part of Migrantour, a responsible tourism initiative aimed at tackling discrimination against people with migration backgrounds that is today present in 20+ European cities and rural areas and has reached tour participants. In Utrecht, our initiative is hosted by De Voorkamer, supported by Wageningen University's Cultural Geography group, and funded in part by Utrecht Gemeente, Utrecht 900 Jaar and the EU's Erasmus+ KA2 project 'Migrantour Sustainable Routes'.
