While doing my master&#8217;s in Arts, Culture &#038; Society at Utrecht University, I realized that, as an immigrant, the matter of belonging and feeling at home is at the center of my personal and academic interests. In my thesis, I addressed these themes by focusing on storytelling. Narration &#8211; especially personal narration &#8211; has the power to bring what&#8217;s hidden and less visible to light. And that is what Migrantour is all about:  recognizing and acknowledging the untold stories, offering a different perspective. As an intercultural companion, this is my goal: to bring immigrants&#8217; stories more into the public sphere and create a narrative to which more people with migration backgrounds &#8211; especially kids, like my son, with immigrant parents &#8211; can relate. Being heard, being visible, and being recognized is very fundamental to one&#8217;s sense of belonging. It&#8217;s what I want, not only for my son and the next generation, but also for myself and more broadly for all migrants. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;m from Iran and have been living in the Netherlands since 2016.
