Free web conferences promoted by Reggio Children and ALDA
We are presenting a series of Webinar initiatives where educational challenges raised by the pandemic crisis can be discussed, together with researchers and specialists, with knowledge and points of view to share.
Reggio children is interested in calling the international community and the European Institutions in a process of dialogue around the re definition of the role of Education.
We believe that this debate could positively influence the definition of the next EU programming period.

With the current Covid 19 pandemic and crisis, this activity of physically meeting, generating exchange and relations, has suddenly come to a halt. As a place of education and a forum for ideas our work has been dramatically altered.
The difficulties of providing educational quality in challenging new conditions are very real, and the opportunities Reggio Children could provide for discussion and debate are of particular value at this moment.
The new conditions and the concrete restrictions on people’s freedoms have seriously compromised the possibility of shaping quality educational and pedagogical proposals, as they have been conceived and implemented to date, thus jeopardising the fundamental right of children to discover and research.
In these new and difficult conditions, we trust that the opportunities Reggio Children will be able to offer to the international debate are of particular value.
It is our responsibility as teachers, educators, and researchers, to reflect and work together, to start new processes of re-signification that make sense of our present conditions and circumstances, continuing to be inspired by children.
Friday 17th July, h. 11.00am – 1.00pm (Rome time)

Education is a relational process. It is built in the relationship and promotes the construction of social relationships, fundamental for the development of personal identity, learning skills, a sense of belonging to a community, the idea of citizenship.
How can we activate this relationship process in changing contexts? This study also addresses the issue of schools and educational institutions as realities embedded in a city fabric rich in entities which can in various forms shape pedagogical proposals.
How can we start taking advantage of these opportunities?
