Reggio Emilia Guide
Turn a spark of curiosity into a Reggio-inspired provocation or long-term project — grounded in the image of the child, the hundred languages, the environment as third teacher, and documentation as visible thinking.

Example output
A real run (light & shadow · 4–5 year olds · documentation panels):
Provocation / Project Title: Whispers of Light and Shadow: A Gentle Dance. Image of the Child: honours each child as a curious, competent explorer who communicates through movement, gaze and touch. Intention & Potential Learning: to offer a serene invitation into the poetry of light and shadow, sparking wonder about how light transforms space and form. Environment & Materials Setup: a softly lit corner of the atelier prepared with natural light filtered through sheer white curtains, creating calm pools of illumination… Documentation Ideas: photos capture moments of focused reaching or shared gazing; brief notes record children's sounds, facial expressions and gestures. Possible Evolutions: sustained interest in moving shadows may lead to larger fabric "tents" where light filters through, or explorations with coloured gels…
Pro tips
- Every plan opens with the image of the child and treats the environment as the third teacher — the heart of the Reggio approach.
- The documentation ideas tell you exactly what to photograph and note to make children's thinking visible.
- Ask for a long-term project in your request and you'll get possible evolutions — how the inquiry might grow over weeks.
- Hit Download as PDF to share the provocation with your team or families.
