Camilla Andersson


Hosting Institution: Scuola dell'infanzia Mariele Ventre -Fratta Terme (Bertinoro Municipality)

Hello! My name is Camilla Andersson. I´m 39 years old and live in Vänersborg with my family.I have 3 children, Alfred, Wilma and Tova. I have been a teacher for 16 years and I'm very interessed in how children learn and play. I´ve had the opportunity to start one school and two pre-schools. Our pre-school is called Dalaborg and the children are between one and five years old.
In my spare time I like to spend time with my family. I also like reading, outdoor life, orientering and travelling. I like to learn new things and to meet new people from diffrent cultures.

Anne Marie Olofsson


Hosting Institution: Scuola dell'Infanzia Monsignor Achille Lega- Meldola Municipality

Ciao, sono Anne Marie Olofsson, però mi chiamo AMO di soprannome.

Hello, my name is Anne Marie Olofsson, but my nickname is AMO. Since I was a child, I´ve always liked my nickname. Now, that I know the meaning of “amo” in italian, I think it´s nice that my nickname has more than one meaning! (Amo = I love)
I´m 33 years old and I live in Västra Frölunda, Sweden. I work as a pre-school teacher in Mölndal. The children at my pre-school are between one and five years old. I love working with children, and I´m so glad that I´ve been given this opportunity to join the Sern project. I hope that my future experiences in Italy will give me new angles of approach to develop my work with the children.
In my spare time I like to take photographs, practise “step up”, and make glass beads jewellery. This autumn, my sister gave birth to a little girl, and I´m very happy for her. I try to see my sister and her daughter as often as I can. I don´t have any children of my own, but I have two brothers, one sister and my parents, that I care about a lot. My mother is norwegian, so Norway has become a “second home” for me.
One day a week I study basic italian at Folkuniversitetet in Göteborg. I intend to learn as much italian as possible before my trip to Italy next year.

The Exchange with the pre-school of Il Bosco Incantato in Parma is great. I learn a lot of stuff and everyone is very kind and help me out vert well. After three days I have already knowledge about the pre-school history of Italy and of Parma, which is interesting. I have also visited different types of pre-schools and have had a lot of information from my tutor about her pre-school and their work with the children. When I come back to Sweden I will speak about the exchange with my colleges. I will also show them and the children some pictures from the pre-schools of ParmaInfanzia.

Diletta Ravaioli


Hosting Institution: Dalaborgs förskola - Vänersborg Municipality

My name is Diletta Ravaioli, I’m 51 and I have been a play school teacher for 28 years.
Our school, which is in Fratta Terme, a village between Bologna and Rimini, is called Bertinoro.
We gave our school the name Mariele Ventre because she was a music teacher and the founder of the Coro Antoniano in Bologna and we belive that music and singing are important parts of a child’s life.
I am a qualified teacher, specialised in children aged 3 – 6, speech therapy and psychology-movement for children of this age.
I play the guitar, I love reading, art, visiting museums, outdoor life and learning new things.
I chose to devote my life to children and I have founded a half-way house for children ( max. 6, aged 0-12) where I live. We take in psychologically damaged children and during their stay with us, we do everything we can to help them recover, with love and a stable “family”, using music, psychotherapy etc...

Carla Lommi


Hosting Institution: Lillegarden förskolan - Trollhättan Municipality

I am 41 years old, I'm married and I have three daughters. I live in Noceto and I work in the nursery school of Noceto - Parma - "Il bosco incantato".
I have been working in this and other pre-schools in Parma since 15 years. I love my job with the children and I like comparing and learning from the colleagues and from new experiences.
I think this exchange could offer me and my colleagues the possibility of reflection and improving the quality of the everyday educational practices.
In my spare time I like going to long walks on mountains, in the country and in the forest. I like also gardening -above all vegetables- and I like cooking pasta and vegetarian meals.

My name is Erica Catelli, I’m 32. I’m educator and I work in the pre-school “Girasoli”, in Parma.
I work with children that are one year old.
I love to work with small children because the relationship that I build with us is based on the emotions.
I’m very curious and I always try to improve my pedagogical competences. I hope this experience can extend my point of view through the comparison.
In my spare time I like running and to stay outdoor because I love nature.
