About the Prize
Now in its fourth edition, the Loris Malaguzzi International Prize aims to celebrate a body of work, rooted in pedagogical research and thinking, which stands out for its sensitivity and attention towards children. In particular, the Prize aims to recognize works that raise questions on education, on the interdisciplinarity of childhood, and on children's rights. The Prize pays particular attention to those works that give a voice to young people to express their point of view and feelings on the world. The Prize also aims to celebrate those works that are the result of historical and/or pedagogical research on Loris Malaguzzi and the experience of the Reggio Emilia Approach®.
