Seminar 1

An interpretation of the key principles of Reggio Emilia

Reggio Emilia is a town in northern Italy that has become synonymous with high quality early childhood practice. Educators from all over the world visit Reggio Emilia and the municipal schools and infant toddler centres. This seminar will assist participants in understanding and interpreting the principles that underpin the Reggio Emilia Educational Project and how  they might be re-interpreted in another context.

Seminar 2

Working with the competent child

Constructing an 'image of child' is a vital part of how educators in Reggio Emilia work with young children. In this seminar, we will explore what this means, how you can examine viewpoints on children and childhood, and how this will influence your everyday practice as part of educational change. We acknowledge this as the 'living breath' of the work undertaken in Reggio Emilia. 

Seminar 3

Building relationships with people, spaces and materials 

Both the principles of Reggio Emilia and the Early Years Learning Framework invite educators to consider the importance of relationships with children. This seminar explores aspects of relationships that can support continuous improvement and firmly place children as central to all decision-making in our early childhood contexts. We also explore relationships with materials as an important element.
