Description
This workshop is only available to educators and leaders who attended AISWA’s 2017 study tour to Reggio Emilia.
We will also consider requests from those who have previously attended another study tour to Reggio Emilia (please email Rebecca: rduncan@ais.wa.edu.au before registering if you fulfil this requirement and would like to be considered)
A full day workshop for educators and leaders who have previously attended a study tour of Reggio Emilia, presented by Kirsty Liljegren.
This PL will assist you to delve more deeply into the principles of the Reggio Approach, forging connections with what you encountered in Reggio, and exploring possibilities for your own context.
You will need to come to this session having considered ongoing questions or challenges, and ready to informally share something that has shifted in your practice or thinking since the study tour experience. Please email your questions/challenges to Rebecca, or those in the 2017 tour can post these to our Facebook group, or no later than Friday 2 February so these can help shape Kirsty’s presentation.

Kirsty Liljegren
Director of Cornish College Early Learning Centre, Victoria
Until recently, Kirsty was the teaching Director of Cornish College Early Learning Centre in Victoria where she worked for the past ten years. Many educators from around the world have visited the early learning centre as a place of provocation, innovation and inspiring practice. Kirsty was awarded a national excellence in teaching award for innovative practice together with a State and Territory award for Victoria for her contribution to the early childhood sector.
Kirsty has been a long-standing committee member of the Reggio Emilia Australia Information Exchange (REAIE) and has undertaken two study tours to Reggio Emilia, together with visits to the Forest Schools in Denmark and the Nature Kindergartens in Scotland. The philosophy from the Reggio Emilia educational project has had a profound influence on Kirsty both professionally and personally, continuing to fuel a hope for all children to be respected, valued and understood as they deserve to be.
Kirsty consults and lectures in a variety of contexts both nationally and internationally, with insight shared from both a practitioner’s and a leadership perspective. She is particularly passionate about the all-important question: How do we as educators enable children to flourish?
