Teaching Beyond the Square went on our first Study Tour of Reggio Emilia, Italy in April 2026. We had the opportunity to see inspiring spaces and schools, interact with materials,, and reflect and learn from other educators. This trip included a visit to the Loris Malaguzzi Center, Remida Reggio Emilia, Remida Bologna, Maestra Natura, Nido Scuola Chroeia, and EducatioNest, a bilingual school in Modena.

 

“To be amongst people who share my passion, speak my language, and are just as excited by shampoo caps as I am, was truly infectious and will stick with me forever.”

“I have never been so inspired by the environments, information presented, demonstrations, materials…”

“The week has been dreamy, inspiring, and extraordinary.”  

“What an inspiring group of creative minds and a carefully curated collection of encounters all week long.”
