Reggio Emilia Aotearoa New Zealand

You can now follow us on Facebook.

Facebook is a social website that connects people with friends and others who work, study and live around them.

Future posts on our website http://www.reanz.org will automatically be posted on our Facebook page as well. We hope to integrate these two websites further so people not on Facebook don’t miss out on any discussions and vice versa.

By having a presence on Facebook we hope to reach out and link more social groups together, to encourage discussion around the pedagogy of Reggio Emilia within Aotearoa. Facebook also provides the ability to you to connect and stay in touch with people you meet along the way or even those you’ve lost touch with.
