“The most beautiful of our days – a history of education”
is a project that intends to explore and make known the history of educational services 0-6 in the Reggio Emilia area, promoting common values, female participation, great sensitivity towards the community's childhood culture and care for the educational environment that this area has expressed since ancient times and which, particularly from the post-war period onwards, has created the conditions for excellent services recognized throughout the world.

The European Commission assessed this experience as fully representative of European values and good practices, and considered knowing its origins and history an important contribution to building greater awareness around European citizenship.
History

Fascist education

From Resistance to Social Struggles
Memories, testimonies, stories, but also insights into the political, social and economic context. Where do early childhood services come from? Why are they so strong, vital and creative in this area, so much so that they are taken as a model all over the world?
Municipal infant toddler centers and preschools are an expression of the right to a public, democratic and quality education, a right which, like many, is the result of an achievement, of decades of demands, of participation and awareness, which has often seen in women first row.

The achievements, the pedagogy, the values
