- W2189074896 abstract "One crisp autumn day towards the end of the last century, an important fax message sped from the elegant northern Italian city of Reggio Emilia to Washington, D.C.. It can be imagined jostling high above the Atlantic with missives about the latest negotiations in the Balkans, then at war. This message, though, bore a simpler and more peaceful message. It announced the distance across the floor of La Villetta pre-school in Reggio, and it invited the children in the recipient nursery in the United States capital to calculate the dimensions of their institution using the same unit of measurement, toddler steps. To follow those small feet into one of Reggio Emilia's nurseries is to enter a wonderland. That, at any rate, is how the children who are fortunate enough to spend their days there seem to feel about it. Their calm but zestful engagement in a range of creative activities certainly left that impression on this parent. So did the beauty of the carefully designed spaces in which those activities were taking place. As I left La Villetta, I found myself musing about the chances of magically becoming a Reggio citizen, turning back the clock a few years and giving my own daughters such a great early experience of public service at its best. Perhaps a time machine and a couple of other fantastic inventions would do the trick? Speculate along those lines among Reggio's children and the chances are they would set about inventing the necessary equipment. Some of their earlier inventions -- such as an 'amusement park for birds', built in La Villetta’s garden -- have worked pretty well. If other more ambitious ideas fail to progress beyond the drawing board, the children have learned from their collective attempt and, with the assistance of their teachers, are able to work out why they won't work in practice. Anyway, as the original design for the birds’ amusement park shows, the children's production of imaginative designs has value in itself. Beauty and creativity are at the heart of their everyday experience of public" @default.
