The Walks BCN

We support Russian-speaking teenagers in emigration.
The project
The Walks is a project that brings together teenagers who have found themselves in a new environment. We go for walks, explore the city and its surroundings, talk, create, and have fun.

The first walks started in Israel in 2022. Since 2023, the project has been running in Barcelona, and from 2024 — in Valencia and Lleida, as well as Paris and New York.

All our events are free of charge. We invite teenagers aged 12 and up, and young adults up to 20. Those who are older are welcome to join our team.
