Board of Directors (Styrelse)

Chairwoman

Alissa Valsangiacomo

Alissa Valsangiacomo is the founder of Ludos and co-creator of this community.

She moved to Malmö from Switzerland three years ago and is a mother of two.

Her approach is inspired by Montessori principles and gentle parenting, and shaped by a personal journey of growth. She believes that children learn by observing and absorbing the world around them, which led her to reflect deeply on her own values and the environment she creates as a parent.

This reflection naturally expanded into a deeper exploration of the relationships and well-being of the people surrounding children. It is from this awareness that the desire to create a supportive community was born—one where families can connect, share, and grow together.

Treasurer

Johanne JunG Melms

Jo is a founding board member and treasurer of Ludos Lektotek.

She is driven by a curiosity for what happens when people meet through play. With a masters in theology, she is especially interested in how we create meaning, rituals, and a sense of belonging together.

Alongside this, Jo has spent years in theatre, both on stage and in improv, where presence, spontaneity, and shared imagination take center stage.

She has also worked closely with children with diverse needs, bringing a grounded and attentive approach to creating spaces where everyone can belong on their unique terms.

At Ludos Lektotek, Jo keeps an eye on the numbers, but just as importantly, helps hold the vision of play as a vital, whimsical and explorative place for adults and children alike.
