Reaching into the vast material Loris Malaguzzi has left us, this issue of Rechild wishes to offer thoughts on some of the central nodes in the birth and development of Reggio Emilia’s experience of education: the image of the child, the hundred languages, research, the children-teacher-parent relationship, and participation. All this in order to continue our research, so that we can face the challenges of today’s world, and chart new routes of the future.
