REGGIO-RELATED CONFERENCE SCHEDULE
****************************************************************************************
MESSAGE FROM THE OFFICE OF REGGIO CHILDREN, s.r.l.
The office of Reggio Children, s.r.l., is pleased that there is so much interest in the United States about our infant centers, preprimary schools and educational philosophy. We note with pride the number of presentations concerning Reggio at national, state and local conferences across the U.S. focused specifically on the Reggio Emilia approach to education. We caution interested educators that some workshops purporting to present material concerning the Reggio Emilia approach have not accurately reflected our experiences and philosophy. In order to ensure accurate representation of ideas concerning Reggio, we urge organizers of workshops, seminars and conferences concerning the Reggio Emilia approach, whether non-profit or for-profit, to coordinate their plans with Reggio Children, s.r.l., via Bligny 1/a, 42100 Reggio Emilia, Italy, 39-0522-513752, fax 39-0522-920414, e-mail: reggiochildren@reggiochildren.it , web site: www.reggiochildren.it
The listing of conferences, workshops and various forms of video and printed materials is presented by the editors of Innovations to assist readers who are interested in descriptions and interpretations of the Reggio program. All those listed below are regarded by Reggio Children, s.r.l., as consistent with the spirit and philosophy of the Reggio schools.

REGGIO CHILDREN: INFORMATION, CONTACTS, RESOURCES
Reggio Children
In the spring of 1994, the Reggio Children organization was formed in Reggio Emilia, Italy, to support the municipality's world-renowned early childhood program. The goal of Reggio Children is to disseminate the wealth of knowledge in theory and practice that has resulted from more than 30 years of experience in the education of children from 3 months to 6 years of age. Through publication and distribution of books, articles, videos and slides that document the Reggio approach, educators can learn more about these educational principles and benefit their own classrooms.
Reggio Children also responds to the increasingly numerous requests for information and cooperative exchanges that arrive from all over the world. Reggio Children is a private, for-profit company governed by a board of directors and supported by shareholders – corporate, private (parents, teachers and other citizens of Reggio Emilia), and the Municipality of Reggio Emilia which holds the majority of shares. Until now this organization has not been open to individuals outside Italy.
Friends of Reggio Children
In memory of Loris Malaguzzi, Friends of Reggio Children, a non-profit, international organization, has been formed and membership is open to all. The goal of Friends of Reggio Children is to create an endowment that would establish a library for collecting documents about the Reggio approach and to provide funds for student research on the Reggio philosophy and principles.
Friends of Reggio Children is asking for your support. A one-time donation will entitle you to become a member of an international group who believes in the educational principles that the Reggio program exemplifies and in the right of children to obtain the best care and education possible. The association's membership fee is $35 U.S. and can be paid by banker's draft or by bank transfer (bank account # 26056/C at Cassa di Risparmio di Reggio Emilia, Piazza Battisti 1, 42100 Reggio Emilia. Members of Friends of Reggio Children will receive a subscription to rechild, the newsletter published by Reggio Children.
