3. I meet and work in a wonderful team with dedicated, inspired and enthusiastic teachers!

This spring in April 13-20, I was lucky to join 399 people from 39 countries in order to meet with a big team of pedagogistas, atelieristas, teachers and a beautiful community including a mayor of Reggio Emilia:) It was a full week of WOW and AHA moments in my professional life!
If you want to join this Study Group, go to http://www.reggiochildren.it/?lang=en and apply for the year of 2014.
