The Reggio Emilia approach originated in a village in northern Italy following the Second World War. In a powerful act of community resilience, local citizens used bricks from bombed buildings to construct a school. This movement, led by founder Loris Malaguzzi, sought to create a new educational philosophy that viewed children as strong, capable protagonists of their own stories rather than passive recipients of information.
The 'Hundred Languages of Children' is a thematic anchor of the Reggio Emilia approach based on a poem by Loris Malaguzzi. It suggests that children possess a hundred different ways of thinking, discovering, and expressing themselves, such as through sculpting, dancing, drawing, and shadow play. The philosophy argues that traditional schooling often narrows this down, focusing primarily on words and numbers while neglecting other vital forms of expression.
Unlike traditional models where teachers deliver instructions to children who simply receive them, the Reggio Emilia approach is a rebellion against the desk-and-workbook method. It treats children as active protagonists in their own learning journey. By moving away from filling 'empty vessels' with facts, this child-led philosophy provides a breath of fresh air that encourages diverse ways of discovering and interacting with the world.
