Are you ready to challenge your preconceptions about people in need and homelessness? Walks Without a Home are an experience that can give you a new perspective on your surroundings as well as on the stories of people living on its margins.
Following a successful pilot walk, we are bringing you another date. Mário Barinec, head of the Low-Threshold Centre in Trenčín, together with guide Jana Bebjaková, will lead you through places and situations experienced by people in need.
You will experience firsthand what it feels like to find yourself in a crisis situation. Would you know what to do and who to ask for help? Would you be able to find money or secure emergency shelter? You may never find yourself in such a situation, but someone around you is very likely facing similar questions.
The walk lasts approximately one and a half hours. It starts at 16:00 at the Railway Station in Trenčín (in front of the main entrance) and ends at the Low-Threshold Centre on M. Nešpora Street.
A new feature for this date is a simple orientation map of the route, which you can find below. It will help you better prepare for the walk – for example, if you are arriving with a stroller, using a wheelchair, or want to preview the individual stops in advance.
During the walk, we will stop at four locations that open up different themes connected to the lives of people experiencing homelessness:
Loss of security – Railway Station (accessible)
Survival – Bridge to Ostrov (accessible)
How can I help? – Under the road bridge (accessible)
The way back – Low-Threshold Centre and shelter (accessible – stair platform, possibility to leave a stroller or bicycle)
