The Friends of Reggio Children
International Association, founded on May 24, 1994, is a non-profit
organization with more than 900 members in Italy and abroad.
It is sustained by the volunteer work of its members and donations
from supporters.

The Association
is part of the important civic and cultural heritage
of the extraordinary educational experience which began
thanks to the sensitivity and passion of Loris Malaguzzi
and continued thanks to the generous and creative commitment
of many educators and staff of the Municipal Infant-toddler
Centers and Preschools of Reggio Emilia, to the sensitivity
of generations of public administrators, and to the
participation of parents in what is known as “social
management.”
The Association shares with Reggio Children s.r.l. (in
which it has a 9% shareholding) and the Municipality
of Reggio Emilia a commitment to promote the thought
and work of Loris Malaguzzi, collaborating in designingand
organizing numerous professional development and cultural
events. Thus far, these have included important initiatives
such as the joint organization of the showing of the
exhibit “The
Hundred Languages of Children” in Reggio Emilia
in 1995, in which the Association was in charge of hospitality
for visitors and the |
|
daily management and
promotion of the exhibit; the presentation of the Italian edition
of the American book The Hundred Languages of Children about
the preschools of Reggio Emilia; organization of the important
conference given by Dr. Jerome Bruner at the Valli Theater of
Reggio Emilia in 1996; and the commission to the research institute
ISTORECO of Reggio Emilia to carry out historical research on
the experience of the Municipal Infant-toddler Centers and Preschools
of Reggio Emilia.
The Association also collaborates with Reggio Children in welcoming
the Italian and foreign delegations who come to Reggio Emilia
to study this educational experience, and manages Remida, a
creative recycling center that collects discard materials supplied
by businesses and industries and offers them to infant-toddler
centers, preschools, elementary schools, and play centers. |
