Description
Our non-profit promotes cultural, social, and educational activities in Losone and the surrounding area.
Here, you’ll be part of a vibrant and creative community:
• A music school, a tango school, and the renowned dance-theater academy, offering classes in dance, singing, and theatre.
• Creative ateliers, woodworking and bakery spaces, and support for local performing arts groups.
• A welcoming osteria, where community and culture come together around food and conversation.
Throughout the year, the non-profit hosts a wide range of events — from children’s theatre and jazz concerts to multicultural performances and the popular Six O’Clock evenings — making it a true cultural hub in Ticino.
We welcome open-minded volunteers to share their energy, support workshops and events, and experience authentic cultural exchange in a place where art, craft, and hospitality thrive together.

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
👉 Staying at this place is more than volunteering — it is becoming part of a cultural community. Volunteers can join workshops and use our spaces for daily practice in acrobatics, yoga, juggling, tightrope, music, and more. You will meet artists, musicians, dancers, and theatre groups from different countries. Plus, summer in Switzerland is a must: the rivers and mountains nearby are fantastic for swimming and hiking.

I really appreciated that Andy came all the way down from Riga to complete the team and be part of the project. "Chapeau" as we say in French.
Thanks Andy for your precious help.
