Exhibition of the infant-toddler centers and preschools

of the Istituzione - Municipality of Reggio Emilia North American Version

in collaboration with hosted by

Education is changing in Ontario. We want you to be part of an exciting opportunity to support this transformation. The Wonder of Learning: The Hundred Languages of Children, an incredible exhibit of work by the children and educators of the Preschools and Infant-Toddler Centers, Istituzione of the Municipality of Reggio Emilia, Italy is coming to Toronto in the second half of 2016. The North American Reggio Emilia Alliance (NAREA) coordinates this North American version of the exhibit in collaboration with Reggio Children. The timing is excellent, and we know it will inspire educators and leaders and support the work that is happening in the province.

The Ontario Reggio Association is a non-profit organization supporting a large network of educators engaged in collaborative study of the principles of Reggio-inspired education. Bringing the exhibit to Toronto is a major undertaking. We are collaborating with school boards, colleges, universities, regions, municipalities, organizations, corporations, and anyone who is interested, to ensure that multiple perspectives inform our planning.

We need your financial support to make this exhibit happen. As the entrance to the exhibit is free to the public, please think of the costs that an organization incurs in budgeting for professional learning. All of your colleagues can view the exhibit; it’s nearly as wonderful as making the trip to Reggio Emilia!

Why be involved?

• To show your support for the Reggio Inspired community • To be a part of an exciting exhibit that promotes 21st century learning for children, educators and

families. • To gain visibility in the Reggio community and support connections within.
