querstadtein / Berlin: New Perspectives

querstadtein offers city tours from the perspective of disadvantaged social groups. Our tours through various Berlin neighborhoods create space for dialogue and exchange between people who otherwise wouldn't get into conversation with each other. Thereby we want to reduce prejudices and create mutual understanding as the basis for a successful communal life. We started with city tours, carried out by formerly homeless people. Since April 2016, we offer tours by refugees as well. The stations on the routes serve as starting points for their personal stories, concerning their lives on the streets and experiences as newkommers to Germany.
