The Reggio Emilia Philosophy: Principles, Possibilities & Provocations

Presenter

Maaian Zelman

Examine foundational concepts like the Image of the Child and the role of educators, the Hundred Languages, and Progettazione. We’ll also explore the powerful role of The Atelier/Studio and how to apply this mindset in your indoor/outdoor classrooms. This philosophy is so rich and expansive that, together, we’ll decide which principles to focus on more in-depth for your unique context. We’ll explore why there’s no rigid ‘how-to’ manual for this approach. Ultimately, we’ll see this philosophy itself as a provocation for what’s possible, inviting us to provoke our own thinking about how to take inspiration into your own context.
