NEW POSSIBILITIES FOR EDUCATION IN COMPLEX TIMES

About us:
The Reggio Emilia Australia Information Exchange (REAIE) is a not-for-profit membership organisation.
REAIE is an invited member of the Reggio Children International Network. REAIE draws on the educational project of Reggio Emilia as the ongoing catalyst for thinking, research and advocacy in Australian educational settings. We aim to promote a greater understanding of both the complexity and importance of listening in creating relationships both within and between groups of children, educators, families and the community.
REAIE promotes a strong and positive image of children as citizens and active participants in democratic communities through the promotion of the critical role of research, observation, documentation and interpretation of children’s processes of action and thought.
We advocate for social justice and democracy in education, giving priority to active constructive and creative learning by children. REAIE works to sustain and strengthen our relationship with Reggio Children and we continue to be their national reference organisation in Australia through the promotion of dialogue, professional learning and research of the educational project of Reggio Emilia.
Purpose Statement:
Reimagining children’s education for a just society.
Our Values:
When making decisions and advocating for the work of the organisation REAIE employees and Board pledge to:
• Honour Children.
• Act with Respect and Integrity.
• Be Democratic and Ethical.
• Support Learning, Teaching and Research.
We believe that these values reflect the purpose and mission of the organisation and will support our decisionmaking processes.
About our members and community:
REAIE members consist of students, practitioners, academics and educators in preschools, primary, secondary and tertiary organisations, graphic and performance artists, policymakers and architects.

ABOUT THE CONFERENCE
Reggio Emilia Australia Information Exchange (REAIE) is pleased to share with you the title of the 2025 REAIE Biennial Conference Landscapes of Collaboration: New possibilities for education in complex times
The 2025 REAIE Conference will be held from 3rd to the 5th of July 2025 at the Adelaide Convention Centre in Adelaide/Tarntanya, South Australia.
Journeying back over six decades to the inception of the Reggio Emilia municipal pre-schools and infant-toddler centres, we encounter a landscape of profound change experienced by children, their families and community. In response, Malaguzzi articulated the imperative for “a pedagogy of collective desire” (Moss, 2012, p. 124). Especially resonant in today’s complex times, Malaguzzi’s imperative offers a contemporary and courageous call to action that holds the inter-dependent relationships between children, educators, families and communities at its heart.
REAIE extends a warm invitation to join us as we engage with our colleagues from Reggio Emilia, exploring the myriad ways in which the dynamic Reggio Emilia Approach® continues to unveil fresh vistas for children, childhood, and education.
This Conference delves into the nexus of theory and practice, charting a course towards an educational ethos grounded in hope, optimism, and children as citizen culture-makers, sustained by the enduring principles of collaboration, participation, and democracy.
This Conference, planned in close collaboration with Reggio Children, will be a rich and invigorating experience as we welcome colleagues from Reggio Emilia as our Conference Keynote Speakers, supported by a collection of presentations from the Australian research community. This Conference promises to offer wonderful networking opportunities with colleagues, organisations and businesses across the sector.
