Who we are
A bridge of friendship between Italy and English-speaking countries.
The “Together” Association is founded in Milan, Italy, by a group of teachers passionate about teaching and with a common dream: to create a bridge of friendship between Italy and English-speaking countries, to teach English through relationship (through Friendship).
The name “Together” embraces the thought that to educate and raise children “you need a village.” This philosophy reflects the way our Camps are organized, working closely with schools and families.
We organize English Camp with storytelling, sports, art, music and drama workshops designed for preschool, primary and secondary school students.
Our Story
We started with the first camp in 2011-it was a great success especially because of the enthusiasm with which our American teachers worked with the children. Today we are present in several schools throughout Italy.
We operate mainly in Lombardy, Emilia-Romagna, Liguria, Tuscany, Piedmont, Trentino-Alto Adige and Veneto with localized presences in the rest of Italy as well.
We have grown by learning from experience, always starting over for a new adventure, never taking anything for granted, on a path of continuous growth.
We have also become increasingly experienced in selecting teachers, always looking for specific skills and competencies but also for enthusiasm. We have consolidated our relationships with American and Irish universities.
The adventure continues!
Training has become increasingly precise and timely, keeping pace with the evolution of foreign language teaching.
Our teachers are full of enthusiasm, competent and professional
