Häufig gestellte Fragen
The Reggio Emilia approach is an educational philosophy that views children as powerful, rights-bearing protagonists in their own learning journey. Rather than treating students as vessels to be filled, this method creates vibrant, studio-like environments filled with natural materials like river stones and lavender. It encourages children to explore their world through curiosity and self-expression, moving away from sterile classroom settings toward spaces that inspire wonder and discovery.
Loris Malaguzzi was the founder of the Reggio Emilia movement and the author of the poem that defined the 'Hundred Languages' concept. He believed that children naturally possess a hundred ways of thinking, playing, speaking, and marveling at the world. Malaguzzi’s philosophy challenges traditional educational systems that often focus strictly on verbal and written skills, arguing that such narrow focuses can inadvertently suppress a child's diverse natural abilities.
The 'Hundred Languages' refers to the many ways children communicate and express their ideas beyond just words. In this pedagogy, activities like painting, sculpting, and movement are treated with the same dignity as formal speech. It recognizes that children use diverse expressive arts to explain their thoughts and interact with their environment. By acknowledging these hundred languages, educators support the child's right to think, listen, and marvel in their own unique way.
In a Reggio Emilia setting, child-led learning is supported by a sun-drenched, aesthetic environment that functions like an artist's studio. Children are encouraged to follow their interests, whether they are fascinated by how shadows move across a wall or how water ripples in a puddle. This approach treats their play as a serious form of communication and research, ensuring that their natural curiosity drives the educational experience rather than a rigid, pre-determined curriculum.
