REACH - Reggio Emilia in Asia for Children

REACH - Reggio Emilia in Asia for Children REACH is the Asia chapter of the Reggio Children Intl Network; responsible for upholding and dissemi

In 2013, EtonHouse International Education Group signed an agreement with Reggio Children to formalise REACH as one of the acknowledged reference points within Asia, for the dissemination of information about the Educational Project of Reggio Emilia. REACH (Reggio Emilia in Asia for Children) provides membership and professional learning opportunities (seminars, workshops, conferences and study t

ours). As one of the identified contact points for Reggio Children in Asia, REACH is responsible for facilitating dialogue and sharing information between educators in Asia, Reggio Emilia and other International network groups. We hope to create opportunities for dialogue, collaboration, reflection, professional learning and research and innovation in the early childhood practice, and invite you to join us in this journey.

What does it mean to educate children in complex times?

As part of the lead-up to the Reggio Emilia Conference in Singapore 2026, Ainhoa De Sola, Atelierista at REACH, shares her interpretation of this year’s theme: Education in Complex Times: Children, Democratic Cultures and the Role of Childhood in Shaping the Future.

In her reflection, Ainhoa invites educators to think beyond preparing children only for exams, but instead, to prepare them for a future that is uncertain. She speaks about the importance of offering children opportunities to question what already exists, connect with different mediums, and express themselves through different languages.

Join the conversation this October with educators, school leaders and early childhood advocates from Singapore and beyond.

Go beyond learning about the Reggio Emilia Approach. Experience it where it began.

Earlier this year, Her Royal Highness The Princess of Wales visited Reggio Emilia to experience its internationally recognised approach to early childhood firsthand, exploring how relationships, environment, and community shape children’s development. This November, educators and educational leaders will have the opportunity to experience Reggio Emilia firsthand and deepen their own understanding of its philosophy and practice.

Join our International Study Group in Reggio Emilia for an immersive and hands-on exploration of the philosophy, pedagogy, and cultural context behind the Reggio Emilia Approach.

Visit Reggio Emilia’s Infant-Toddler Centres and Preschools, explore the 100 Languages through atelier experiences, and learn directly from pedagogistas and atelieristas at the Loris Malaguzzi International Centre. Alongside professionals from around the world, engage in dialogue, exchange perspectives, and consider how these principles can meaningfully inform your own context and practice.

The experience also includes an exclusive EtonHouse school tour and additional dialogue sessions facilitated by the REACH team, creating dedicated opportunities to reflect and put your learning into practice.

The Reggio Emilia Conference Singapore 2026 is more than a conference — it is a celebration of collaboration between Italy and Singapore, bringing together educators, school leaders, policymakers and early childhood advocates to explore the future of education.

Presented in collaboration with the Embassy of Italy in Singapore and Reggio Children, this year's conference is centred on the theme: Education in Complex Times: Children, Democratic Cultures and the Role of Childhood in Shaping the Future.

In a world shaped by AI, technological change and growing global uncertainty, how can education continue to nurture creativity, participation and democratic values?

Hear directly from Annalisa Rainieri and Valentina Violi of Reggio Children, alongside educators from around the world, as they share how the Reggio Emilia Approach is being interpreted across diverse contexts. Following the renewed global interest in this approach, including the recent visit of Her Royal Highness The Princess of Wales, Catherine, this is a timely opportunity to engage with one of the world's most influential educational philosophies.

Beyond inspiring keynote sessions and panel discussions, delegates will also experience school visits and an atelier, offering a unique opportunity to connect theory with practice.

What does it mean to educate in complex times?

As we lead up to the Reggio Emilia Conference in Singapore 2026, we invited our community to share their own interpretations of this year’s theme: Education in Complex Times: Children, Democratic Cultures and the Role of Childhood in Shaping the Future.

In this reflection, Jessica Deeprose, Pedagogista at REACH, invites us to consider how educators can create environments where children do not only learn about values such as listening, democracy and peace, but experience them in everyday life.

Join us this October as we continue these conversations with educators, school leaders and early childhood advocates from Singapore and beyond.

[EXCLUSIVE] Only for registered conference participants!

How does the Reggio Emilia Approach come alive in the everyday life of a school?
As an add-on to the Reggio Emilia Conference in Singapore 2026, the optional school visit is available only to registered conference participants.

This practice-grounded experience offers educators the opportunity to step into a school setting and reflect on how Reggio-inspired principles may be interpreted in everyday school life.

This is where conference ideas meet the real questions of practice:
How are environments prepared?
How are children’s ideas listened to and documented?
How do materials invite exploration?
How do educators create conditions for relationships, inquiry, and participation?

School Visits are optional and available at an additional fee of 150 SGD per participant
30 October 2026, happening after conference
Limited slots available!

Early bird registration for the conference ends 31 July 2026.

At the 'In the Shape of Clay' atelier, The Princess of Wales experienced one of the quiet strengths of the Reggio Emilia Approach: the belief that children think not only with words, but with their hands, bodies, senses and materials.

Clay becomes more than a medium. It becomes a way to explore, question, transform and make meaning.

For educators, this invites us to look again at the environments and materials we offer children. What possibilities do they open? What kinds of thinking do they make visible?

This October, the Reggio Emilia Conference in Singapore 2026 invites educators and pedagogists to explore these ideas more deeply.

Secure your spot and register before 31 July 2026 to secure your early bird rate.

A reflection from past participant Ashley Zhang on what stayed with her after the conference: seeing children as independent individuals who are capable of thinking, learning, constructing new ideas, and forming a renewed sense of self.

The Reggio Emilia Conference invites educators to return to these deeper questions of childhood, community, environment, and learning.
Early bird ends 31 July 2026.
