LO STIVALETTO - WHO WE ARE
We are a network of families united by a love for the Italian language and culture. We are a non-profit foundation – Lo Stivaletto Foundation – based in Amsterdam that offers activities in Italian to give children and adults living in the Netherlands the opportunity to be together and share experiences and friendships.
We organize every activity thanks to the creativity, talent and professionalism of an energetic team of educators, collaborators and volunteers, reinvesting every profit in the boot.
We like all people, even those who eat pizza with pineapple. This is why we chose to use a inclusive language and introduce the schwa – ǝ – in our texts to indicate anyone without defining anyone.
These are the our values:
Community | Family | Italianity | Cultural exchange
If you share them too, join the big Lo Stivaletto family!
