North American Study Groups

Study Opportunities

Dedicated North American study groups welcome educators, parents, administrators, advocates, and others working to elevate early childhood education. Since the late 1980s, thousands from North America have traveled to Reggio Emilia to study. Learning from and with Reggio Emilia’s educators, atelieristas, pedagogistas, parents, municipal representatives, and ordinary citizens enables a richer understanding of the educational, social, political, and cultural context supporting Reggio Emilia’s infant-toddler centers and preschools.
