    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.
