“Learning and teaching should not stand on the opposite banks and just watch the river flow by; instead, they should embark together on a journey down the water. Through an active, reciprocal exchange, teaching can strengthen learning and how to learn.”
-Loris Malaguzzi, 1998
“Our task is to help children communicate with the world using all their potential, strengths and languages, and to overcome any obstacle presented by our culture.”
-Loris Malaguzzi, from the catalog of the exhibit ‘The Hundred Languages of Children’
“What attracted me to the preprimary schools in Reggio was, first, the use of visual languages as a construction of thoughts and feelings within a holistic education, and second, the fact that
the atelier becomes a cultural vehicle for teacher development.”
-Gandini to Vecchi, The Role of the Atelierista, 2013
