International
Center Loris Malaguzzi
An international place open to the future, to different cultures,
to ideas, hopes and imagination. A place of the possible, a
place which is useful an needed by the city and the Centre’s
changing neighbourhood.
A place not born today; the first suggestions came with Loris
Malaguzzi, “We are working in difficult times, so changeable,
so fluctuating …beyond any ability for prediction, for
the future is difficult to govern…”
In 1998 the Reggio Comune (Municipality) acquired the ex-Locatelli
premises as a catalyst, a symbol of transformation in the northern
area of the city. A place where children and their potentials
are at the centre, it wishes to offer opportunities for creativity
to children, young people, families, and new possibilities to
the international educational community and all those who hold
dear the themes of education and innovation. |

The
exhibition recounts the story of experience in Reggio
Emilia’s infant-toddler centres
and preschools, with an initial prologue
going from the mid-nineteenth century to the end
of the second world war. This first section is followed
by more detailed sections, from the liberation of
Italy to the present day, mostly divided into decades.
The work is an
open narrative, capable of receiving new contributions
and possible additions.
This is an exhibition
as a place for exchange - a piazza - that
from a starting point of the history of Reggio infant-toddler
centres and preschools is also capable of generating
new questions on education in other cultural and
social contexts, on the present and the future of
schools and, as its highest aspiration, “on
the culture of childhood and mankind”.

Enchanted words
“Look, Look at the wonder!” Giulia, years 4.6
For the third year, several Reggio Emilia infant-toddler centres, preschools
and primary schools are taking part in the Fotografia Europea
exhibition. This year there is something new: the International
participation of 14 schools of 12 different countries.
Equipped with ultra-sensitive antennas to the world and to things,
children readily question, investigate, re-elaborate and create new
realities: myriad worlds, all enchanted. They find enchantment also
in the medium, the camera, which they use by now with great familiarity,
but which continues to maintain the mystery and fascination
of the first magic lantern.
In this way another language – the photographic language – rightfully
joins among the many expressive languages with which children
construct spaces of thought and emotions. |

| Ray
of Light Atelier |
|
 |
|
The
Ray of Light atelier was presented at The
Genoa Science Festival in November 2005. It
is an environment offering children, young
people and teachers the opportunity to experience
some of the qualities of light and become
familiar with the “grammar” of
these through individual and group interaction.
The idea was born from the encounter between
work on the identity of the Malaguzzi Centre
and the desire
to make the atelier an innovative area for
research on the hundred languages of children.
The Ray of Light Atelier proposes an inter-disciplinary
approach to the subject without a single progression
leading to one solution. Rather, it encourages
the elaboration of theory and knowledge on
light in both individuals and groups. Conception
and realisation of the atelier came about
with contributions from a working group made
up of people with diverse competencies; atelieristi
(educational artists),
pedagogisti (educational co-ordinators), a
physicist, an architect and a group of volunteers
made up of many enthusiastic parents. Successive
phases of research and development are planned
for the exhibition and will be put together
over a period of two years. |

| Play+
Soft |
|
The exhibition
recounts the results of a research project
and laboratory work involving designers, teachers,
pedagogiste (educational co-ordinators) and
preschools in Reggio Emilia
working together for over two years.
Play+Soft is a range of furnishings introducing
new sensory qualities into environments and
landscapes for childhood. It is a contribution
towards making the environments inhabited
by children experiencing the adventure of
growing more complex and stimulating, a tool
for investigating new ways of inhabiting spaces
for children and adults. The exhibition of
this new range of soft furnishings for childhood
was created with pedagogical consulting from
Reggio Children and developed by 28 international
designers. Art direction is by Michele Zini
and realisation by the innovative business
entrepreneur Maurizio Fontanili. |
