“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.”
