Help us to teach English in Italy!!!

We are a Cultural Association in a small town called Adria in the region of Veneto. The Cultural Association was founded as a response to various requests by local people, a group of parents wishing to immerse their own children in the English language, thus giving them the chance to grow up bilingual.
Our aim is to teach English through simple conversation and interaction with children, young people, and adults in our association.

Adria is a great place for our volunteers to learn more about Italian culture and way of life. It is also a good location for travelling to other parts of Italy. You can get to Bologna, Venice, Ferrara and Verona easily by train.

We can also organize Italian lessons to our volunteers.

Every month we host a social night at one of the local bars. We invite our associates and other people from the local community to join us in an evening of socialising in English. We carry out activities that encourage our guests to speak in English as much as possible - be this through taking part in a 'pub quiz' or a 'speed-dating' style conversation activity. These evenings are a great way to meet new people from the local community and get to know other Italian people to exchange our thoughts and ideas about our respective cultures.

We are currently looking to fill multiple roles at our school for the 2022-2023 school year.

We are looking for a teacher to oversee our English courses for older students preparing for the Cambridge English Examinations. These students are learning English at the A2, B1, B2, C1, C2 levels. For this position we are looking for someone who has previous experience preparing students for these exams.

We are also looking for a volunteer to assist with our young learner's classes. These classes focusing on teaching the English language through games and crafts.

Volunteers must be native English speakers. No specific qualifications are necessary but experience in teaching, working with young children and a TEFL certification would be advantageous. Most importantly you should be enthusiastic, friendly and ready to enjoy yourself! You will be required to volunteer as part of a team, but will also have free time to do things independently.

Eliza spent time with our association teaching young children English in 2020. She was always very professional and very helpful. She worked very well in the team and was always available to whatever was needed. You will certainly find Eliza a resource for your team.

Working at this organization in Adria was my first Workaway and a great start. I was there for two weeks, but a week after I left I asked if I could come back, and spent another week there.

I spent 1 month at the association and feel SO grateful that it was my first Workaway experience because it was honestly delightful. Volunteering at the association has really inspired me to take part in many more workaways and at the same time, setting the bar VERY high. I got back just over a week ago and have been missing it since! I am already… read more planning on returning to help out in September. I arrived late on a Monday evening (around 9 pm) and the amazingly organised Elizabeth had ensured one of the teachers (Rachel) would be waiting to greet me and show me around the association. Elizabeth had also stocked a shelf in the fridge full of food with my name on it (literally a label with my name on it!), this gesture warmed my heart. I settled in and felt at home SOOO quickly. The accomodation in the association is so nice and a great size (complete with an en-suite bathroom).
I fell in love with the small, warm, friendly and quirky town of Adria (plenty of great places for Aperitivo, Pizza, coffee & Gelato). Damn, I miss €1.20 cappuccinos & daily access to Gelato! It is really great to be based in a small town and get a true taste of Italian culture without being surrounded by tourists, but with great links to other places. Adria station provides easy access to Bologna, Verona, Ferrara, Venice & chioggia (all of which I visited during my month in Italy). The people truly made my experience and you are made to feel part of a family quickly. Elizabeth was very proactive and great at communication, responding to my needs (EVEN during her time of at Easter) and allowing me to try a little bit of everything at the association (including assisting with the kindergarten, marking Cambridge exams, teaching English, painting the association & putting up Easter decorations). I was given a weekly schedule of what I would be doing so I could pre-plan accordingly. My meals were catered by a local Italian restaurant (who always ensured I was fully fed and were very warm and hospitable) 5 days a week and by a restaurant in the local mall for the other two days of the week. One thing I will say is that the restaurant food was mainly pasta (all different kinds), salad, potato, bread & alternating cakes for dessert (although this may have been because I requested no meat). I personally loved the food (ALWAYS tasty) at the restaurant despite it not being particularly varied (something for future workawayers to bare in mind). On one of the evenings an older student who owns a cake factory invited the teachers/volunteers to a cake and champagne evening at the association, which was fabulous. Also, on my last weekend, I attended a small art display/gallery opening in Adria which was a really cool experience! (I felt like a local).
Thank you to Elizabeth, Nicole, Alessandra, the local restaurant and the other teachers/volunteers for making my time so memerable. Love you all <3

I'm not quiet sure how to start describing my experience here, because even though it has been a couple of days since I said goodbye to my wonderful fellow teachers and volunteers and my cute but at times nerve wracking kids, I am not sure how to describe everything that has made my experience what it was. My time in Adria has taught me a lot of… read more valuable skills and life experiences that I am sure to use in upcoming workaway experiences. Not quiet knowing what to expect, I arrived in Adria on the 7th of January and within a few days, it felt like I had always been there. Elizabeth and all the other volunteers make you feel like you have always been part of the team and that the association is your home. The people in general were, I think, the highlight of this stay. The teachers are an amazing team that is always there for each other and sticks with you through all the highs and lows a stay abroad can bring. They become your family, the people you eat with, have movie nights with, and travel with. Adria is an amazing place to be staying, it's a cute little Italian city in Veneto, where people will soon know you as one of "Elizabeth's girls" and greet you on the streets. From there, you can easily go many places during your time off or the weekends, which is why in my relatively short time there, I still traveled a lot.
However, if you decide to take part in this workaway experience, your main focus should be to work and to engage in the association. This is the heart project of Elizabeth and she will expect you to not only regard it as a way to stay in Italy, but as a working position in which you make a difference and help the association to accomplish it's goals. Even as a volunteer, you are regarded as part of the team and once you are familiar with how everything works, you start taking on your own role as a teacher. During my time there, I started off assisting in Kindergarten, and finished teaching classes, being a substitute for the other teachers, conducting speaking exercises and many more different tasks. It certainly never gets boring and you will experience a wide range of tasks, that will sometimes challenge you, be help you get more experienced and flexible in your work. Still, my favorite part of work was definitely working in Angloteca, their kindergarten concept, where I took care of a bunch of wild Italian kids that were at the same time the most adorable beings on earth.
God, I feel like I am writing a novel, but there is just so much to say. Maybe to keep it short, here is what I would say to other possible new volunteer: Don't expect this to be chill or easy or a cheap way to travel Italy. It's not. It takes commitment, flexibility, lots of motivation and the will to learn how the association works. The work will sometimes be challenging, but in the end, it is all worth it. Elizabeth is an amazing, motherly host that will make sure that you are happy. Do not hesitate do speak up about something that bothers you, she will make sure to figure something out and help you solve whatever problem you might be having. The other teachers are like family that will make you feel welcome and loved, help you out whenever needed and go on trips with you if you want to. You will experience being a teacher, a friend, a traveler, a volunteer and a part of the team throughout you stay there and miss it the instant you leave. So if that sounds like something you might enjoy, I can highly recommend sending them an email!
So well, the only thing I can say is: Thank you, maybe we will meet again! :)
