    The Historical Tour provided rich knowledge about the colonial histories and continuities shaping Berlin, encompassing significant historical events and everyday normalized violences. Justice designed the tour in an open and participatory way, employing illustrative examples and leaving space for questions and engagement. Highly recommended!
