Reggio Children at the Bologna Children's Book Fair

We will be in BBPLUS - HALL 29 MALL 1, within the Italian Collective Area organised by the AIE - Italian Publishers Association, with a selection of publications from the Reggio Children catalogue. A good opportunity to meet us and discover the pedagogical approach of the infant-toddler centres and preschools of the Municipality of Reggio Emilia.

We look forward to seeing you at the fair!

This year we are offering two special events at the BBPLUS area: the presentation (in Italian) of Reggio Children's new book, "Con il cuore fuori. Natura e avventura nel parco della scuola", which recounts the park of the Salvador Allende municipal Infant-toddler centre and Preschool in Reggio Emilia through the words, photographs, drawings, and works of the children who, over the years, along with educators and parents, have lived in and transformed the park. The book aims to be not only the story of many different experiences of knowledge, but also and above all a starting point for looking at and designing outdoor spaces as new protagonists of educational practices.

The second event, held in English, will showcase Reggio Children's publishing activity. During this session, the latest publications - about the language of clay and projects in nature with children - will be presented, in the frame of the Reggio Emilia Approach practiced in the municipal schools for children from zero to six years old.

Monday, April 13, from 3:30 pm to 4:20 pm - BBPLUS Events Space (in Italian)
From the schools of Reggio Emilia. Con il cuore fuori. Natura e avventura nel parco della scuola
The new book will be presented by Stefano Sturloni, atelierista and collaborator of Reggio Children, and Sara De Poi, editorial co-ordinator of Reggio Children.
