The exhibition will be inaugurated on 21 November by His Excellency Dante Brandi, the Italian Ambassador to Singapore, who said, “Italy’s contribution to the educational landscape is profound, offering new perspectives and approaches that complement Singapore’s vision of education as a cornerstone of societal growth and development. The Reggio Emilia Approach to early childhood education pioneered in Italy stands as a testament to the power of creativity, exploration, and holistic development in young minds. This approach aligns beautifully with Singapore’s commitment to fostering creativity and critical thinking, as well as nurturing the potential of every child.
