INTERNSHIP IN ITALY WITH WORK’N’STUDY European Mobility Erasmus + KA1 TARGET AUDIENCE Mobility for individuals: 1) ERASMUS + KA1 Mobility project for higher education and staff. 2) ERASMUS + KA1 Mobility project for adult education staff - job shadowing WHO WE ARE Work’n’study does not issue scholarships, instead we supply services such as Italian language courses, accommodation and internships.

This means sharing with others, learning to respect others. This is the reason why we are eager to put our knowledge at the service of those who, like us, believe in the journey as a personal development.

LOCATION We are located in Seregno; a cozy and homely town at the foot of the Alps between Milan and Lake Como. Brianza, the area where Seregno is located, is also known as ‘The Green Lung’, for being lush and luxuriant. You could ride a bike and in a few minutes find yourself surrounded by green, leafy wilderness . Seregno’s size makes it a people-friendly town and therefore an ideal place for a first experience abroad. You will integrate yourself easily into this little town. You can go to the bakery and enjoy artisanal bread or for a leisurely jog in the park far from the urban smog. Seregno is a peaceful, safe little town where residents take life at a leisurely pace. Seregno is characterised by rather cold winters (average temperature 5 C in January) and warm summers (average temperature 28 C in July). However, despite being little, Seregno is an idyllic place which offers all the comforts of a big city.
