Through the eyes of someone with a refugee background | Wandelclub der Stadslezers

At a time when everyone seems to be living in their own bubble, the City Readers' Walking Club challenges you to step outside your own perspective. Along the way, you'll read the city as a story: through the eyes of a dog, an eel, a CCTV camera or a street musician. Every walk offers a fresh perspective on city life. In English.

Programme
In this chapter, Rederij Lampedusa invites you aboard a former refugee boat to navigate Amsterdam's migration history from a perspective rarely heard. Guided by captains with lived migration experiences, we'll trace the hidden currents of displacement and belonging that have shaped the city. From colonial trade routes to modern asylum policies, the journey reveals how migration is woven into the fabric of Amsterdam. Step aboard and see the city from a new, floating perspective.
Lampedusa
In 2015 Rederij Lampedusa pulled two former migrant boats from the Mediterranean to Amsterdam. To start the most inclusive, the most colorful and probably the most sympathetic canal cruise company of the city. You may decide whether they have succeeded in this. Rederij Lampedusa — a crew with roots in Syria, Somalia, Eritrea, Egypt and the Netherlands — would love to sail and guide you through the beautiful Amsterdam.
