The Ray of Light Atelier, at the Loris
Malaguzzi International Centre in Reggio
Emilia, is a place for research,
experimentation and immersion in an
environment open to children of all ages,
adults, parents and families.
In the Atelier, light in its various
forms can be investigated through
explorations that inspire wonder and
curiosity and stimulate creativity and
deeper inquiry.
It is also a place for conducting
research into new ways of teaching
science.
The project originated from a
collaboration between the pedagogical
experience of the Municipal Infant-toddler
Centres and Preschools of Reggio Emilia
and the Department of Engineering Science
and Methods of the School of Engineering
at the University of Modena and Reggio Emilia.
The Atelier proposes educational
experiences for schools of all levels,
Sundays open to families, guided visits
and hands-on workshops.
