Overview
- Kensington Palace said Wednesday that Catherine will make a two-day working visit to Reggio Emilia on May 13–14.
- She will meet educators, parents, children, and local leaders to see the Reggio Emilia Approach in practice.
- The palace describes the trip as a high-level study visit that links the Centre’s Shaping Us framework with leading global methods.
- The Royal Foundation Centre for Early Childhood, founded in 2021, released a 109-page guide called Foundations for Life for entry-level training and ongoing professional development, launched at the University of East London the same day.
- The Reggio Emilia model centers on relationships, the learning environment, and nature as a “third teacher,” and aides say lessons from the visit could shape the Centre’s international work and may lead to further overseas engagements later this year.
