The training is a very specific and innovative proposal that JUMP makes to international guests, teachers or other passionate of our beautiful “Italy” and it combines 3 main “ingredients”:
– learning the Italian language through non-formal classes and the experience of speaking with native Italian speakers;
– improving cooking skills with funny and very alternative “cooking workshops” by using local food, working with local chefs, and learning by doing;
– discovering and understanding the local culture of Calabria, Southern Italy, and linking this culture to the economic development of agriculture and the food chain in Europe.
During this intensive and immersive program the participants get to know the local culture and the regional panorama related to the food production which is very interesting and peculiar, totally different from other regions of Italy. In Calabria the food is strictly connected with religious tradition, with the weather and with the migration of the population. The region is the less known so the less explored and the wildest which makes it more fascinating and it makes it more exciting to come and discover.
Our course is – as said – a combination of language, culture and food production and tasting.
Participants work in contact with other international guests and meet at the local level “local citizens”, other international new citizens and learn some Italian in funny and interactive lessons, cook altogether strengthening multicultural language competences and travel around our region exploring some places which represent our history, Greek and Latin roots.
This program is a hybrid and it’s a flexible schedule modified from time to time depending on the period when it’s realized. In spring it explores the beauty of this season, the first moments on the beach, the first heat and the explosion of colors and smells.
In the summer participants try all the tastes of this hot season with some special summer moments. In Autumn and Winter time there’s the wine and the olive oil season and the valleys gain the colors of the leaves falling down and some colder evenings. Despite the wintertime, in Calabria in reality the summer never ends and the region is so green that it’s almost not possible to feel cold. This training crosses seasons and participants enjoy it bringing home all the warmth of the people, the sea, the mountains and the food, loving even more our beautiful language.
LEARNING OUTCOMES
Participants can be any kind of teacher working in a public or private school or educational institutions
INTRO/METHOD
Like all our programs, the present one is flexible and adaptable to special requests, depending on the subject taught or on the starting level of the participant.
Furthermore, in line with the JUMP Academy method, our courses are based on a strategic balance between formal and non-formal education, indoor and outdoor education and the team takes care of a very important aspect of international mobility which is the intercultural learning which we develop with short excursions and facilitating the interaction with local partners, businesses and citizens of our territory. Each local context has its own economy so it’s always useful, in training programs, to get in contact with concrete examples (experiential learning and real based learning).
We always try to connect our learners to local teachers and students to cooperate in developing innovation and networking for future projects. If possible, inside the program, a morning is spent inside a local school, visiting, observing, and cooperating in the realization of one or more lessons. The proposed program JUMP works, in European dimension and with an international spirit, at the local level and, according to the period of the training along the year and the weather, it is possible to change some sessions and add visits and meetings, in cooperation with our network of partners including schools involved in European projects).

JUMP is based in Soverato (Catanzaro province), on the Jonian coast but the association cooperates with local partners and institutions of the surroundings towns and cities. Calabria region represents the deep South of Italy, known for the tropical climate and sandy beaches but also famous tall and green mountains.
During our trainings we also aim to make participants discovering the region, especially those old towns rich of culture, traditions, castles, small churches, narrow streets, colourful balconies, tropical flowers and local farms.
The nearest airport to Soverato is Lamezia Terme (SUF), 30 minutes far away from Soverato.
Our pick up is organized ONLY from and to this airport which is the biggest and the most important, connected to all the other cities in Italy and in Europe.
Many people like to stop in Rome or in Naples and take a train which is also comfortable and the journey along the coast is also pleasant (you see all the South).
JUMP proposes to participants to be lodged by Villa Gabriella International B&B managed by our local partner C.T.E. CENTRO TERRITORIALE EUROPEO company (https://closertoeurope.com/). The Villa has 7 big and comfortable rooms continuously renovated but also preserving the typical “old times” atmosphere of a very local house of Southern beach place. The Villa has many spaces for activities, a training room, the breakfast room, the terrace and flowers all around. It’s located in a peaceful and safe district called “Cittadella” surrounded by hills of olive trees and other Villas. JUMP created a network of other similar b&b for when participants are more than 12, in order to assure the same quality with an amazing breakfast, all comforts and an international environment. Villa Gabriella is also the JUMP headquarters for the general management of our activity. The Villa is the meeting point for all guests during all trainings and it’s where we realize all project activities.
Thanks to the cooperation with the C.T.E. company Jump provides lodging in 2 villas and if the groups are big, we have cooperation with all the owners of b&b and bigger hotels.
A brand new local partner, an innovative company offering touristic services with another vision and perspective. Discover Calabria and enjoy the local culture making experiential learning and practical labs with local people, but also simply a more sustainable tourism at local level.
