REAIE 2027 Conference | Landscapes of Hope: Children as Citizens

TELL ME MORE

The 2027 REAIE Conference upholds a bold premise: children as active citizens, from birth, holders of rights, culture, values, and boundless potential. In a world impacted by inequality and crisis, our shared future will be guided by how we listen to and participate alongside children in shaping more just and democratic possibilities. This is not only a pedagogical agenda, but a deeply ethical and political one. Landscapes of Hope invites educators, researchers, and communities to come together to consider how pedagogical approaches, deeply influenced by the values of Reggio Emilia, have the potential to create contexts that honour participation as a right and difference as a welcome catalyst for growth and transformation. This is a view that upholds the collective as a place for the co-construction of meaning, where children’s perspectives are heard, their identities affirmed, and their rights are upheld with integrity.
