diversity.<\/p>\n<p>The walks are guided by migrants from old and the new generations, so as to show tourists, students and locals their neighbourhoods as they perceive and experience them.<\/p>\n<h6>In Brief<\/h6>\n<ul>\n<li>Nine\u00a0European cities (Turin, Milan, Genoa, Florence, Rome, Marseille, Paris, Valencia and Lisbon)\u00a0were involved.<\/li>\n<li>Over 11,000 people, have taken part in these walks \u2013 mostly secondary schools students, but also local citizens, tourists, groups and associations.<\/li>\n<li>The project is also designed to provide an added source of
