REANZ Study groups to Reggio Emilia and to Melbourne
Expressions of interest are now open for the Study Group to Melbourne
Study groups offer an incredible insight into exceptional early learning practice. There’s nothing like being there, experiencing the relationships and environments in person.
REANZ is welcoming expressions of interest for the Melbourne Study Group for 2026 from teachers and leaders from early learning services and schools. Two Trustees will host the group and coordinate activities along with Chris Bayes.
Numbers are limited for this event, which takes you to early learning services and schools around Melbourne to be with educational leaders who have been influenced by the Reggio Emilia Approach in each of their unique contexts.
Dates will be confirmed as soon as we have them, typically the first week of September is a good guide.
REANZ Reggio Emilia Study Group
Friday 17th April to Saturday 25th April 2026
“The qualities and values of the city of Reggio Emilia are central to the Reggio Emilia project. While much is written about the way this city and its citizens approach early learning, experiencing the city itself provides a valuable context in deepening our understanding. It has been said before that you cannot really understand the Reggio Emilia project unless you understand the city that gave birth to it.”
