CommUnity Impact Opportunities
Social Inclusion
“Invisible routes” is a social project run by “Shedia”, in which homeless people become tour guides in a very different kind of a city walk. This is a tour that leads the guests through the backstreets of central Athens introducing visitors to many important social and solidarity institutions of the Greek capital (soup kitchens, day centers, centers, homeless shelters etc). The guides provide information on the types of services offered by each institution as well as how they themselves have experienced or are still experiencing homelessness.
- They share information on the changing face of homelessness and social exclusion, the challenges faced by the institutions that strive to cope with the demand for more social services as well as the profile of the people behind solidarity organizations that are at the forefront of the battle against poverty and social exclusion, as they try to safeguard individual and collective dignity. And this is the most striking element of “Invisible Tours”: the personal narrative; in other words, communicating one’s personal experience from life on the streets. All of the tour guides are “Shedia” street paper vendors.
- The goal of these social tours is to energize the person who is leading the tour. The tours also aim at creating new ways for them to support themselves, providing new training and educational opportunities and moving a step closer to social (re)integration. From the visitor’s perspective, it is a unique opportunity to get acquainted with and to listen to a very personal, human story that for many will sound very familiar, too close to home. The visitor will also get an insight into the social challenges that the Greek society is faced
