Reggio Week is one professional learning week in Reggio Emilia, running two parallel programs side by side. The City as Atelier explores place-based learning and the city as a learning environment; Designing Learning explores the relationship between art, architecture, creativity, and pedagogy. Each participant chooses one journey and follows it across the week, while the two groups come together through shared sessions, meals, cultural visits, dialogues, and moments of reflection. So you are not choosing between three separate courses — you are choosing one of two journeys within the same week.

04–10 October 2026, in Reggio Emilia, Italy. The week runs from Sunday arrival to Saturday departure, with five days of program in between.

We welcome everyone who designs, nurtures, or reimagines spaces of learning and culture — educators across all levels, school leaders, pedagogistas and atelieristas, architects and designers, artists, librarians, museum and community-space professionals, researchers, policy makers, and cultural practitioners. Whether you work with young children, adolescents, university students, or adults, the week invites you into a shared exploration of how creativity, pedagogy, and imagination can shape meaningful learning across contexts and disciplines.

Not in the official sense. Reggio Emilia is the place where this work was born, and the Reggio Approach is the rich soil from which many of the experiences and spaces we will visit have grown — so its influence runs through the week. But Reggio Children is the institution that holds the official Reggio Approach training, and if that is specifically what you are looking for, you will find their study groups and professional learning programs on the Reggio Children website. Our week takes a wider lens: it draws on the Reggio tradition while opening a panorama of perspectives on creativity, atelier practice, materials, place, and the design of learning environments — bringing together voices from education, architecture, art, and culture into a shared inquiry.

Read the descriptions of The City as Atelier and Designing Learning, then choose the journey that best fits your role, interests, and professional development goals. If you're unsure which is the better fit, contact us and we'll help you decide.

Both are possible. Individuals bring fresh and often unexpected perspectives, and if you join alone you will not feel it for long. We also warmly encourage teams, as the experience is enriched when schools, organizations, or design practices arrive with multiple voices. Coordinators planning a group — including Erasmus+ mobilities — will find a dedicated section for group registrations.

English throughout, structured as a co-design lab in which each participant is an active contributor. Professional Italian–English translation is provided for school visits and selected sessions.

Each program is limited to 20 participants — large enough for genuine diversity, small enough that no one disappears. The deliberately small size keeps ateliers, workshops, and guided visits close and the dialogue meaningful.

Complete the pre-registration form and tell us about your context, your role, and what brings you to Reggio Week. Because the groups are small and intentionally curated, we review each pre-registration carefully. Once your place is confirmed, you complete payment to reserve it — spots are limited to twenty per program. If your Erasmus+ grant has not yet been disbursed, contact us and we'll discuss a payment timeline that fits your institution's process.

We recommend booking flights and accommodation only once your place is confirmed and the cohort is finalised. We're happy to share recommendations on where to stay in Reggio Emilia.

No. The total amount you pay is the one shown in your registration form. We do not charge extra enrollment fees, deposits, or hidden costs.

The €660 course fee covers the five-day professional learning program, expert facilitation, preparation, materials, a full day at the Loris Malaguzzi International Centre, visits to cultural projects and learning spaces including REMIDA, and a certificate of participation. The mandatory €240 participant services and cultural program covers translation, transport within the program, the shared meals (welcome aperitivo, gastronomic atelier, closing celebration), course materials and media package, and a cultural visit. Optional add-ons are chosen separately at registration.

Once your place is confirmed, we send a booking confirmation with full payment instructions. Payment is made by bank transfer, and the bank details and the reference to include in your payment description are provided in that confirmation message. No payment is requested while a course is still pending confirmation — you only pay once your spot is secured. Once your transfer is complete, please email the confirmation to info@educademy-eu.com for our records. If your Erasmus+ grant has not yet been disbursed, contact us and we'll agree a payment timeline that fits your institution's process.

Cancellations must be notified to us by email at info@educademy-eu.com. If you cancel shortly after registering, statutory withdrawal rights may apply; in all cases, please contact us and we'll confirm how they apply to your booking. Because our group is small and many costs — translation, school visits, catering, and venues — are committed in advance, we ask you to let us know as early as possible. If something prevents you from attending, we will always look first for an alternative that works better than a refund:

• You may transfer your place to a colleague at no additional cost, at any time before the course begins.

• You may reschedule to a future Educ@demy program, subject to availability, at no additional cost.

If neither option suits you, our refund terms are:

• Cancellations notified more than 6 weeks before the start of the course: full refund, minus a €150 administrative fee.

• Cancellations notified between 6 and 4 weeks before the start: refund of the course fee, minus the €150administrative fee and the €240 participant services and cultural program fee, which by this point is committed to translation, catering, and transport.

• Cancellations notified less than 4 weeks before the start: the fee paid is retained, as our commitments to partners can no longer be recovered.

Educ@demy is not liable for costs arising from circumstances beyond our control — including travel disruption, illness, or decisions of public authorities. In the event of a cancellation required by an official authority (EU, national government, or National Agency), we will refund the course fee paid, minus a €150 administrative cost per participant. For this reason, we strongly recommend booking only flexible flights and accommodation, and arranging your own travel and health insurance, which is obligatory and at your own responsibility.

If we are unable to confirm a session — for example, if it does not reach the minimum number of participants — you will not be charged, and any payment already made is refunded in full. This is why we ask you to wait until your place is confirmed before booking flights and accommodation. Please note that Educ@demy cannot reimburse travel or accommodation costs in the event of a cancellation, so flexible bookings are always the safest choice.

Yes. All participants receive a Certificate of Participation, which may be applied toward professional development hours where applicable.

Travel to and from Reggio Emilia, accommodation, meals outside the shared program meals, and any optional activities outside the program schedule. Once your place is confirmed, we share recommendations on neighbourhoods, hotels, and travel routes.
