“We travel to change, not location but ideas.” Hippolyte Taine

The Heterotopia Tour relies on the idea that travelling offers, to whoever experiences it, an opportunity to take a step back from one’s daily life. It enables an individual to question their own convictions, lifestyle, choices and motives.

During this set amount of time, the person is ready and expecting to welcome new experiences. The setup keeps changing, helping to create a physical and mental dynamic as opposed to a sedentary routine. Throughout this time period they are willing to face and address their perception of self and others and question their relationship to their environment.

The safety provided by the frame of the trip enables them to step out of their comfort zone. It is a supportive framework which makes it possible to examine your bias, beliefs and ethics. It is a space to regain spirit, to express and speak your mind in new ways, to open up to new realities, new activities, new kinds of relationships, new perspectives. It is an opportunity to try and tackle new projects, both personal and professional, to challenge yourself within a group, in a context that differs from the usual, to explore different strategies in order to grow one’s ideas into realities and, in the end, to boost your confidence in your ability to take initiatives.
