Dialogues with Places

Every place has its own soul, identity; trying to find it out and building up a relation with it means learning to recognise one’s own soul. Children attending the infant-toddler centres and preschools in Reggio Emilia explored the Loris Malaguzzi International Centre while it was a building site, they chose then a space they deemed to be interesting and planned a work, a gift ideated in harmony and in dialogue with the selected place.

From the exhibition Dialogues with places, children’s experiences and projects become a big working notebook.
