Victorian Network Groups
Melbourne Network Group
The Melbourne Network is a diverse group of educators who are all inspired by the Reggio Emilia educational project. Meetings are held once a term in spaces that promote dialogue, research and provocation amongst like-minded colleagues. We aim to enrich our pedagogical practice by sharing experiences and undertaking research in a supportive, safe and collaborative environment. The group is inclusive of all educators who weave together their ideas, experiences and knowledge in order to gain a shared understanding of the Reggio Emilia educational project.
MEETINGS:
Once each term at various preschools or learning centres.
The Peninsula Network Group
The Peninsula Network reformed in 2017 to connect educators on Victoria’s Mornington Peninsula.
MEETINGS:
Meetings are held once each term at various centres on the Peninsula.
