    We are looking for someone that lives in the project facilities
    He/she will be helping in the project from Monday to Friday: gardening, cleaning, fixing and whatever necessary to maintain the educacional environment in good conditions for children. There are also some specifical duties as opening and closing the entrance during the begining and end of activities, babysitting in meeting occasions and before school starts.

    We are also willing to share with you some school activities. You can observe our activities based on active pedagogy , democratic education, emotional support, outdoor education... And also share with us your particular skills like languages, art, sports and who knows!!

    As you will be in an educational project living among children, we are looking for someone interested in respectful education.
    Someone that understand that taking care of a little child is non only about feeding,sleeping and "doing", but about observing carefully and following her genuine needs. Taking care of the emotional aspects acting as a comforting and security inspiring adult is central.

  • Accommodation

    Accommodation

    You will have your own room and bathroom in the projet facilities, also a little kitchen where you can cook your meals by your own.
    The people in the projet provide the necessary for nutritional needs.
    The project is 30 min by car from Turín city center, 10 min from a small city called Chieri, in a village called Pavarolo. The environment is natural and beautiful but the public transport is quite a disaster! You will live less isolated If you love biking or have a moto/car licence.
    Anyway, you will find a real network of people (around 30 families and 10 teachers ) who can host you in the weekend in Turin, give you a ride and help you in your "Piemonte experience"
