Reggio Emilia Aotearoa New Zealand
About REANZ
Reggio Emilia Aotearoa New Zealand (REANZ) is a charitable trust that has been in existence since June 2009. There are eleven trustees of REANZ each of whom bring a considerable breadth of expertise and experience across the early childhood and primary sector – teacher educators, teachers, leaders, professional learning facilitators, and other roles. REANZ is committed to providing opportunities for teachers to critically engage with the pedagogy of Reggio Emilia within the cultural context of Aotearoa. One of the main aims of REANZ is that the knots and complexities that can emerge from these encounters with Reggio pedagogy and practice will cause educators to look more closely at their own ideas about education.

"Reggio is a metaphor and a symbolical place. Being in relation with Reggio allows people to hope, to believe that change is possible. It enables you to cultivate dreams, rather than being in a utopia... And there is also a feeling of belonging to something that is about education in its widest sense, as a hope for human beings. And Reggio is place of encounter and dialogue, and not only with Reggio but with many related protagonists."

No way.
The hundred is there.
The child is made of one hundred.
The child has a hundred languages
a hundred hands
a hundred thoughts
a hundred ways of thinking
of playing, of speaking…
