Guide visitors through Salisbury

Walking the world
in our neighbourhood.

What is Diversitours?

Diversitours is a not-for-profit guided walking tour which shows the vibrance and cultural diversity that exists in a highly multicultural area.

 

Inspired by the Diversitours project in Valencia and Bilbao, Diversitours in its original format was funded by the Council of Europe in 2021. 

In 2024 Diversitours is introduced to Australia by iGen Foundation, an Australian-based charitable organisation. The City of Salisbury has funded Diversitours and is the first Australian location.


Diversitours guides connect locals and visitors with the history of neighbourhoods, landmarks and small businesses; Guides highlight the social, business, faith and cultural diversity within neighbourhoods.

  • What is iGen Foundation?
    We are a charitable organisation established to advance the practice and policy of interculturalism in Australia. For more information about iGen Foundation please read here. iGen Foundation has brought Diversitours to Australia from Spain where it operates in Valencia and Bilbao. The first location for Diversitours in Australia is the City of Salisbury, South Australia.
  • Where are we up to in setting up Diversitours in the City of Salisbury?
    Applications to become a Diversitours Guide closed on 8 November and we have been very busy beginning the interview process. We have had more than 3 x the number of applicants we expected which shows the level of support and interest in not only becoming a Guide but in supporting Diversitours to be up and running in Salisbury. We're really proud and excited that local residents are so supportive! We will finish interviews during the week of 18 November and let the successful applicants know. From 25 November we will begin weekly training. During the week of 24 March 2025 we will begin our tours. If you would like to be one of our first tour guests, please let us know by registering at the form below. Thanks again for your interest, your support and for assisting us to create the first Diversitours in Australia.
  • Who will Diversitours Guides be?
    First of all, our Guides will be local residents of Salisbury. It's really important to us that Guides know the local area and will be showing guests their city. Our Guides will come from the language, faith and cultural backgrounds of Salisbury - people who were born in Australia, people who were born overseas and First Nations Australians. It's too late to become one of our founding group of Guides but you're welcome to register to be a walking tour guest when we begin in March 2025. You can register here.
  • How can I become one of Diversitours first walking tour guests?
    Thanks for your interest in being one of our first guests! You can register at the form below. When you register you'll see a pop-up notice that we have received your resgistration and will contact you in February with a few dates for your choice of registration. The walking tours begin during the week of 24 March, 2025. Once we start we'll be practicing the tours for a couple of weeks, so we'll ask our guests to give us feedback about what we can improve and we'll limit the tours to ten people at a time. We look forward to seeing you and please feel welcome to tell your friends.
