Who are we?
INST is an international network of various organisations and providers of social tours. The two-hours tours in the cities are carried out by non-profit organizations or social companies. The INST founding members have informed around 90,000 participants on thousands of tours about the consequences of poverty. Together, the tour providers networked with over 100 social institutions and provided around 100 tour guides with a wage and new perspectives on life. The vision of INST is to expand the network of tour providers and to enable many tour guides to participate in society. A shared goal is to raise social awareness about the exclusion of people affected by poverty.
