Organize cultural walks

With "Passeurs de cultures" - Migrantour

Proposed by Bastina Updated on il y a 4 ans

Walks in the Paris region to highlight the individual journeys of immigrants, refugees, exiles, migrants: “Passeurs de cultures” who come to tell their stories at a tourist site, in a neighbourhood, or in a museum (European Migrantour program).

The first step is to do the "Passeurs de culture" training to learn from professionals and university students how to organize a cultural walk.

Then, the migrants are able to create and accompany walks, to present their journeys, their stories, their experiences in France. They use their personal link to a region, a district or a monument to share cultural identities.

The objective is to transform the image of immigrants in the history of cities.

Good to know: It is also possible to participate in walks without organizing them.

Several walks are offered in Paris and Île-de-France.

Why is it interesting?

Visit the capital and the towns around Paris seen from the original and personal point of view of each culture trader.

Share moments with different people: for example an Italian merchant from La Courneuve, a Parisian from the 15th arrondissement, a Spanish printer from Choisy, an Algerian cook from Saint Denis, a market gardener from Cergy... who may have lived there for a long time or may just have arrived yesterday in the city.

Experience travel thanks to a conversation about a district, a business, a monument, a party, a meal, a garment, a language...

Organizers and participants in the walks will create a strong social bond and learn the importance of migration in the region.

The culture traders are paid for the tours, like professionals.

Participants can enjoy free walks.
