In response to the tragedy of World War II, teacher Loris Malaguzzi helped the people from the town of Reggio Emilia to develop a new model of education. The idea was to use real-life experiences to enhance a child's learning.  Each child develops a love for discovery, forms a steady personality and learns to respect others.  The Reggio Emilia approach regards a child full of potential with an innate sense of curiosity and endless imagination. They are creative and capable of driving their own learning. They have a natural interest to explore and follow their interests.

The origin of Reggio Emilia education

Children are encouraged to develop a sense of ownership of their progress, which create a love for lifelong learning. Children learn from adults, other students, and the environment. The classroom is rich in materials and designed to spark curiosity, creation and discovery. There are big windows to help the children see outside. Parents are regarded as part of this education so that when children return from school, they can continue to research and explore.

Children take ownership

Emilia uses a child-centred approach and project-based learning projects. Teachers observe and create opportunities for learning and discovery. The children take control and progress independently until the project is finished and can be shared with others. Throughout the project, children research, take risks, design and explore. They make hypotheses, try new things, investigate, play and imagine. They construct experiments and learn together. Mistakes are allowed and collaboration is encouraged. Teachers document projects through pictures, videos or written observations.

Describing Reggio Emilia's education

In response to the tragedy of World War II, people from the town Reggio Emilia developed a new model of education. War ought to never happen again. The Reggio Emilia approach is based on the philosophy of “an image of a child”. All children are viewed as full of potential, with an innate sense of curiosity and endless imagination. They are creative, capable of constructing their own learning and they have a natural interest to explore. While they follow their own interests, they always stay connected with others. Adults nurture their learning by providing a rich environment and support.
