Elsa Achurra
Hosting Institution: Pre-school "S.Allende"
in Collecchio
My name is Elsa Achurra Lastra. I have worked as a pre-school teacher since
1987 although I have worked at Svanen since May 2004 where I work with children
aged 1-3 years old.
Norrköping is located two hours from Stockholm. The school is just a few
steps from Vrinnevi woods witch give us a perfect natural environment masterpiece
though the four seasons.
I like travelling, cooking, dancing, walking, listening to all kind of music,
gardening and the small things that make life to a wonderful and amazing
adventure.
Hopefully the job shadowing activity will contribute my professional development
as regards working methods, social and cultural knowledge and a deepened
awareness of the notion “competent child”.
I believe that my stay hosted by an Italian colleague will give me a better
understanding of the contexts in which I will be working in and consequently
give me a genuine insight in Italian lifestyle, society and culture.

Anja Sundell
Hosting Institution: Pre-school "S.Allende" in Bertinoro
My name is Anja Sundell G.son. I’m 52 years old. I live in the forest near by a lake outside a town called Kungsbacka, close to the big city Gothenburg. I’m married to Claes and we have two daughters; Malin and Johanna. They are 25 and 28 years old. We are also a support family for a girl called Ida and she is 19. Johanna has a daughter named Iselinn and she is 3 years old, and we spend a lot of time together. To be a grandmother is really “the dessert of life”. When I’m not spending time with my family I love to be in the woods picking mushrooms and taking long walks with our dog.. In the winter we spend time in the Swedish mountains where we ski. I’m also engaged in the Red Cross learning about first aid and HLR. This knowledge is something that I bring to my work and share with my colleagues and the children. I have worked for 32 years with different parts of preschools. Right now I’m working with children between 2 and 6 years old. I think I have an amusing and stimulating job. I’m looking forward with excitement to our cooperation this fall, which I hope will be developing and instructive for both of us.

I expect on the basis of job-shadowing to be inspired and get ideas about
both the educational activities and documentation.
