Nau mai, haere mai!
What does it mean to be Reggio Emilia Inspired as an individual and as an organisation?
What can we learn from the Reggio Emilia educational project that we can translate in meaningful ways into our own contexts?
We believe that a critical component is to ensure that teachers and leaders engage in professional learning that enhances and deepens their understanding of this pedagogy. Joining a study group to Reggio Emilia, Italy is a unique opportunity for New Zealand kaiako to see and directly experience the history, the pedagogy and the cultural context of Reggio Emilia and in turn, the possibilities and provocations for how we teach in Aotearoa New Zealand alongside international groups from around the world, sometimes from as many as 30 different countries.
COME AND BE A BE A PART OF THE BEST PROFESSIONAL LEARNING EXPERIENCE OF A LIFETIME!

“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.”
