“We had a truly impressive tour! The combination of general information about homelessness with your personal story and experiences was moving and gave us all a lot to think about.

Our Tours
Homelessness &Living on the streets
You’ll gain real insights into the daily lives of people who don’t have a place to call home. They’ll share what life on the streets is really like and what support services are available in Berlin.
Refugees, Migration & Urban Society
Why do people leave their homes? What does it mean to arrive in a new country? People who have personally experienced displacement and migration will share their stories and offer their perspectives on settling in, participation, and daily life in Berlin.
The climate crisis is real, but it seems far away. On guided tours of Berlin, migrants show how deeply the climate crisis is affecting their home regions, why people are forced to leave, and why action is urgently needed here.
Here’s how a guided tour works:
Duration: approx. 1.5–2 hours
Group size: small and interactive
Languages: German / English /
Italian / Arabic / Russian
Starting points: Central Berlin
Important: Respectful interaction is key. The focus is on exchange, not on “spectating.”
