What we offer

Not far from the city center, Utrecht’s Lombok neighborhood is famous for its Ulu Camii mosque and Kanaalstraat shops. But there’s much more to Lombok’s rich, dynamic migration heritage to learn about and experience.

​

Get to know Lombok and the folks who live here better by taking our signature 2-hour Migrantour Utrecht guided walking tour! And why not make it an event, by adding on workshops, experiences and a meal after you take the tour?  Check out our offerings below!

Signature Migrantour guided walking tour

Our signature Migrantour guided walking tour

Connect with the migration heritage of Utrecht's Lombok neighborhood during our 2-hour guided walking tour co-created and led by intercultural companions with diverse migration backgrounds. 

 

Our team of Migrantour Utrecht intercultural companions draw on their personal migration experiences and knowledge of Lombok to offer tour participants fresh and nuanced perspectives on

  • Dutch-ness and the social construction of national identity;

  • The role of schooling in social inclusion and exclusion;

  • Religious expression and tolerance in the city;

  • Gentrification;

  • Living with undocumented status;

  • Acknowledging our colonial legacies; and

  • Initiatives supporting connection with people different from ourselves.

​

Guided walking tours are available in English. Consult us about the possibility of having a tour in Dutch,  Arabic, Farsi or German.

Workshops

Complement your guided walking tour with our specially designed workshops that help enhance the impact of the tour and also serve as fun, meaningful team-building experiences! 

​

From performances (e.g., music, storytelling, etc.) to creative workshops (e.g., linocut printing, embroidery, etc.) to team-building activities (artistic or physical) to educational workshops (e.g., identity, intersectional heritage, participatory design and community-based work, etc.) - there's something for everyone!

​

Let us customise a post-tour workshop just for you, whether it's a one-hour session or a full-day experience.

PRICING & FAQ

What does it cost and how can I book?

As part of our commitment to equity and accessibility, Migrantour Utrecht uses a sliding scale fee model for our tours and workshops. We have 3 different pricing tiers to accommodate a variety of budgets, recognising that financial wealth is a resource that historically has not been equitably distributed. Organisations, institutions and individuals who have access to more resources pay higher rates, allowing us to offer lower rates to lower-resourced organizations and individuals. The three different pricing tiers do not correspond to any differences in your group’s tour or workshop experience.

 

Solidarity rate - 140 euros per tour (max. 12 people per tour)

Intended for organizations and individuals with highest need and less access to institutional, social, and cultural resources

  • Smaller and lower-resourced organizations

  • Grassroots organizations

  • Newly established organizations

  • Organizations led by members of the communities they serve and impact

  • Organizations whose work is focused on disrupting the status quo

 

Sustain rate - 220 euros per tour (max. 12 people per tour)

Our base rate - paying at this rate provides full compensation for our work, including the time, labour and expertise involved in developing and providing our offerings

  • Educational institutions such as schools and universities

  • Organizations that consider themselves to be somewhere in between those in the Solidarity and Pay-It-Forward categories

 

Pay-It-Forward rate - 300 euros per tour (max. 12 people per tour)

Intended for organizations and individuals with more access to resources. Payments at this rate allow us to offer lower rates to those with less access to resources

  • Large and established institutions

  • Organizations who receive substantial funding from large established foundations, legacy funding entities, or government resources

  • For-profit companies or corporations

 

If these pricing options still pose a barrier to you or your organization participating in our tours and workshops, please contact us at migrantourutrecht@devoorkamer.org to discuss barter and payment plan options.

​

If you're interested in a workshop and/or catering, contact us so that we can develop a workshop or catering tailored to your (organisation's) budget, needs and interests.

How can I contribute to this initiative?

We work hard to ensure that everyone feels respected and valued during our tours and workshops. We work closely with local community members to ensure that what we do is respectful and in service of the diverse communities living and working in Lombok. However, we understand we cannot represent everyone, and our offerings will always be a work in progress.

 

We welcome anyone who would like to contribute to our project and help us make our offerings even more inclusive.
