Tour d’Amour is an initiative from the Empowerment Foundation that focusses on the position of the LGBTI-elderly. They have grown up in a time during which it they were not able to talk about their feelings. It is often still hard  for them to talk about these issues out of fear of bullying and incomprehension, especially if they are care dependent. Tour d’Amour travels to homes for the elderly, community centres and educational institutes. During these visits Tour d’Amour educates residents, workers, volunteers and future health care professionals to enhance the position of the LGBTI-elderly. They do this through sharing lifestories accompanied by musical perfomances.
