During this varied, interactive walk we talk to each other and engage in dialogue. We get to know the city, we learn about fashion and about different cultures. The identity of the participants is central. Using a number of conversation starters, we talk about ourselves as a person, our dual culture and the associations at the stops we make at the various showcases. This special practice opportunity can be adapted to everyone's level.

The guide uses the the VTS technique - Visual Thinking Strategies. Through this method we look at art together, experience is not necessary. The guide asks students questions that help them observe more closely and share what they see. In this way, everyone actively participates in the conversation. The tour is very accessible and tailored to the students. There are no wrong answers!

This tour was developed in collaboration with NT2 teachers and Atlas, Integration & Integration Antwerp.
