Eyes Open Ride: Stories from the Streets
Add to ItineraryDescription
Eyes Open Ride: Stories from the Streets is a unique scooter tour of the Melbourne CBD which will open people’s eyes to the experience of being homeless in Melbourne. An Open House Melbourne and Melbourne Zero event, together we will explore some of the city’s iconic landmarks by scooter as we hear the lesser-told stories from Melbourne’s streets. Beyond the tour, it’s also an opportunity for people to rediscover Melbourne and its spaces through new eyes, contributing to a more compassionate understanding of ourselves, our community and our city.
What's On
Tour groups will hear from speakers who will share their unique perspectives about homelessness, and solutions, at iconic Melbourne locations. This event is brought to you by Melbourne Zero, a growing movement of individuals, businesses and community organisations working together to end rough sleeping in our city by 2030.
