“The dimension of research
and the hundred languages of children”

- Principles of the educational project -
Indications. Preschools and Infant-toddler centres Municipality of Reggio Emilia

Research represents one of the essential dimensions of life of children and adults alike, a knowledge-building tension that must be recognized and valued. Shared research between adults and children is a priority practice of everyday life, and existential and ethical approach necessary for interpreting the complexity of the world, of phenomena, of systems of co-existence, and is a powerful instrument of renewal in education.

As human beings, all children possess hundred languages, hundred ways of thinking, of expressing themselves, of understanding and of encountering others, with a way of thinking that creates connections between the various dimensions of experience rather than separating them.

Sophia Preschool Oakura, Taranaki
Presents “Do You Have the Courage to Teach Peace?”

Date: Saturday 11th February 2012
Venue: Sophia Preschool 1160 Surf High Way 45, Oakura
Time: 9 30am till 3 30pm
Cost: $ 125.per person (refreshments on arrival & lunch from Puku
Café provided).

Start the year by embracing the most important thing you can do for yourself and the children you teach –building a culture of peaceful communication and interactions where teacher’s, children’s and parent’s rights are honoured.
As teachers we have asked ourselves, if we are not peaceful in our daily interactions then how can we expect children to resolve conflicts in fair and mutually agreeable ways? Knowing that peace begins with ourselves puts a different perspective on relationships.

Listen to Lorraine Manuela, REANZ Trustee, owner of Tots Corner, in a Radio Waatea interview talking about the origins of Reggio Emilia, The Hundred Languages Exhibition and the REANZ Conference in October 2011.
