| Dialogues with
Places |
Every
place has a soul, an identity. Trying to discover
it and relate to it means also learning to
recognise our own soul. Children in infant-toddler
centres and preschools explored the Loris
Malaguzzi International Centre while work
was still in progress.They chose a space that
was interesting for them and designed a work
of art, a gift, created in dialogue and empathy
with their chosen place. Taken from the Dialogues
with Places exhibition, children’s experience
and projects are presented in the form of
a work notebook.

The languages
of food Recipes, experiences
and thoughts |
Pedagogy
and a culture of eating from the kitchens
of Reggio Emilia’s
municipal infant-toddler centres and preschools.
Reggio Emilia’s decision to maintain
kitchens in each municipal infant-toddler
centre and preschool has always been of pedagogical
and cultural significance. These kitchens
constitute a kind of “gastronomic resistance”,
safeguarding diversity and maintaining value
and respect for different tastes, faith-based
choices and health indicators. Kitchens are
places for listening to families and customs,
and orient us in the direction of community
at the same time. Community meals become a
space, a place of relationship and meeting
with the world. From this context we have
created a book of recipes, experiences, projects
and thinking.
