Landscapes of Collaboration: New possibilities for education in complex times
The Reggio Emilia Australia Information Exchange (REAIE) 2025 Conference is titled, Landscapes of Collaboration: New possibilities for education in complex times. The Conference will be held from 3rd to the 5th of July 2025 at the Adelaide Convention Centre in Adelaide/Tarntanya, South Australia.
About the Conference:
Journeying back over six decades to the inception of the Reggio Emilia municipal pre-schools and infant-toddler centres, we encounter a landscape of profound change experienced by children, their families and community. In response, Malaguzzi articulated the imperative for “a pedagogy of collective desire” (Moss, 2012, P.124). Especially resonant in today’s complex times, Malaguzzi’s imperative offers a contemporary and courageous call to action that holds the inter-dependent relationships between children, educators, families and communities at its heart.
We extend a warm invitation to join us as we engage with our colleagues from Reggio Emilia, exploring the myriad ways in which the dynamic Reggio Emilia Approach® continues to unveil fresh vistas for children, childhood, and education. This conference delves into the nexus of theory and practice, charting a course towards an educational ethos grounded in hope, optimism, and children as citizen culture-makers, sustained by the enduring principles of collaboration, participation, and democracy.
