Invisible Routes

With its most recent project, “Invisible tours,” Shedia aims to raise awareness of homelessness in Greece and help integrate people living in the streets by allowing homeless citizens to provide guided tours in Athens.Homeless people become tour guides in a very different kind of city walk. The tour takes people for a walk to the backstreets of Athens’ city center and introduces them to many important social and solidarity institutions of the Greek capital (soup kitchens, day centers, drug rehabilitation centers, homeless shelters, etc.). The guides provide information on the types of services each institution offers while sharing their personal stories and experiences.

Clio Muse Tours’ goal is to promote the “Invisible Tours” project by creating a digital tour named “Invisible Routes”, and educate both Athenian residents and visitors about the stories of Athens’ homeless people and Shedia’s beneficial work in supporting them by providing new revenue streams.
