Realizing Children's Rights in a Global Context: Glocalization of the Reggio Emilia Experience

Eighty years after its inception, the Reggio Emilia approach remains a significant influence on early childhood education, offering philosophical foundations and research insights that inform society's responsibilities toward children and young people. By promoting a practical, applied perspective that draws on global dialogue and shared experiences, the approach illustrates how educational principles can be translated into meaningful practice. Evidence continues to show that high-quality early childhood experiences benefit children, families, and communities, and the Reggio Emilia framework provides a model for enhancing early childhood services across both organizational structures and daily educational practices. Realizing Children's Rights in a Global Context: Glocalization of the Reggio Emilia Experience provides interdisciplinary professionals around the globe with an essential collection of chapters focused on the application of the Reggio Emilia approach, specifically with the rights of children. Through advocating a pragmatic and applied approach that harnesses global dialogue and experiences, this book explains how these responsibilities can be realized in practice. Covering topics such as prison family visit spaces, local communities, and global educational practices, this book is a critical academic resource for graduate and doctoral students, public health professionals, mental health practitioners, policymakers, educators, and more.
