Our task is to help children communicate with the world using all their potential, strengths, and languages, and to overcome any obstacle presented by our culture which still too often impoverishes the child by the excess and intrusiveness of classificatory theorizing, or by the shortcomings or undervaluing of educational research and practice.
Loris Malaguzzi
During the study group you will have opportunities for connecting with different professional profiles: pedagogistas, atelieristas and teachers who work at the Loris Malaguzzi International Centre as well as in Reggio Emilia's Infant-toddler Centres and Preschools.
You will also have the opportunity to connect with other participants coming from all over the world, exchanging experiences and building dialogues and connections.
This International Study Group will focus on investigating different educational professional profiles from multiple points of view: roles, responsibilities, organisation, working strategies, collegiality, professional learning, self-organised professional learning, research, and designing/progettazione.
