01 — About us

A bridge between Italy and China

International mobility programmes for university students and recent graduates who want to know contemporary China by living the daily life of a host family.

We take inspiration from international Au Pair cultural exchange programmes, reinterpreting the model for the Chinese context and adding a dedicated path for language, cross-cultural skills and personal growth.

✦ 02 — Why China

Far more than a period abroad

You learn a language by using it every day; you understand a culture by living it, not observing it from a distance.

  • Daily life

    Immersion in family life

    Share daily life with a Chinese family and discover habits and traditions no book can teach.

  • Language

    Learning the language

    Study Chinese on a dedicated course and put it into practice every day in a real setting.

  • Skills

    Cross-cultural skills

    You learn to communicate and adapt in a profoundly different context: skills in growing demand.

  • Relationships

    Genuine relationships

    The host family and the local network become bonds that outlast the programme.

  • Perspective

    A view of China today

    Living the country from the inside, you grasp cultural dynamics that shape the professional world too.

  • Certification

    HSK exam included

    At the end of the programme you can sit the official Chinese language certification, already covered by the fee.
