We are thrilled to be able to announce that our long-time network collaborator Dave Kelly will be joining us for our anniversary celebration via zoom with a special interactive presentation "Making the Space for Joy".
Dave Kelly is currently the Director of First Presbyterian Nursery School in Santa Monica, California. Dave was one of the first educators to collaborate with us in our very first Summer Institutes. Since then his work, insight and collaboration with us for the last 25 years has had a profound impact on those educators who have been able to attend. Don't miss your chance to be inspired!
We plan to have a silent auction to help fundraise for the Network and are currently seeking help with collecting donations for the auction. If you are interested in helping with the silent auction please email us at calgaryreggio@gmail.com to obtain a donations letter.
We are able to accommodate dietary restrictions for the dinner.

We have brought back a book study this year. Over the next year we will be discussing the new book The Role of the Pedagogista in Reggio Emilia: Voices and Ideas for a Dialectic Educational Experience by Stefania Giamminuti, Paola Cagliari , Claudia Giudici , Paola Strozzi. (Routledge, 2023) The book is available in softcover and a digital edition on amazon.ca, indigo.ca and can also be purchased through the publisher Rougtledge.
We will be meeting over Zoom. If you are interested in joining the discussion our first meeting will be held on January 22 at 7pm. We will be discussing one chapter per month. Email us at calgaryreggio@gmail.com to sign up.
ReImagine Centre
The Calgary Reggio Network Association and Common Digs Inc. are in the process of starting our own creative recycling centre, the ReImagine Centre, that would be modelled after the Remida Centre in Reggio Emilia. This centre would allow local artists, children, educators and community members to access and purchase recycled materials for creative endeavours, provide educational and artistic workshops and host community events. The ReImagine Centre would be a visionary space that embraces waste pedagogies with the dynamic convergence of creative expression, environmental consciousness, and educational innovation. It will embody opportunities for creativity using "waste materials", fostering dialogue and collaborative action for local artists, schools and families serving as a catalyst for transformative change in Calgary. If you are interested in helping with this project in any way, we invite you to complete the following short survey: ReImagine Centre Survey.

Land AcknowledgementThe Calgary Reggio Network Association wishes to honour and respect that the land in which we live, work and play is upon the traditional territories of the Niitsitapi (Blackfoot) and the people of the Treaty 7 region in Southern Alberta. This region includes the the Siksika, the Piikani, the Kainai, the Tsuut’ina and the Iyarhe Nakoda.
The City of Calgary is also home to Métis Nation of Alberta, Region 3. We are situated on land where the Bow River meets the Elbow River, and the traditional Blackfoot name of this place is “Mohkinstsis” which we now call the City of Calgary. Our work centres on children, families and educators acknowledging community and diversity. We wish to walk together as an organization advocating for the calls to action to be realized from the truth and reconciliation initiative. In consideration that knowledge is key, we offer some recommended reading for our CRNA community. https://newsinteractives.cbc.ca/longform-single/beyond-94?&cta=70 https://indigenouspeoplesatlasofcanada.ca/article/fn-frequently-asked-questions/ https://empoweringthespirit.ca/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/Weaving-Ways-Introductory-Document-10-09.pdf http://www.fourdirectionsteachings.com/ |
