Study Programme in Singapore
A regional gateway to the Reggio Emilia Approach
Offered in both English and Mandarin, the Study Programme in Singapore invites educators within the region to engage deeply with the Reggio Emilia Approach in a Singaporean context. This thoughtfully curated experience brings the philosophy to life through dynamic interactions with educators, vibrant school environments, and professional dialogues rooted in the values of collaboration, research, and participation.
Learning Without Borders, Rooted in Context
While the Reggio Emilia Approach was born in Italy, its values transcend borders. Singapore’s vibrant multicultural education landscape offers a compelling setting to explore how the approach can be meaningfully interpreted and adapted beyond its place of origin.
The Study Programme in Singapore provides educators across the region with access to high-quality professional learning grounded in the Reggio Emilia philosophy—without the need for long-haul travel. It is particularly relevant for those who are looking to:
- Discover how Reggio-inspired principles translate into practice in the local and regional context
- Engage with professional learning that is immediately applicable in their own school settings
- Join a regional community of educators passionate about child-centred, inquiry-based learning
What Makes This Programme Unique?
Unlike standard training courses or conferences, the Study Programme in Singapore is immersive and relational. It’s designed for educators who are ready to go beyond theory and into the deeper questions of what it means to work with children, families, and communities in respectful, reflective, and researchful ways.
Key features include:
- Contextual relevance: Content and conversations tailored to the realities of educators in Asia
- Meaningful school visits: Opportunities to observe environments where the Reggio Emilia Approach has been thoughtfully interpreted
- Bilingual support: Full access to Mandarin and English facilitation to ensure inclusivity and clarity
- Community building: Shared learning experiences that encourage long-term professional relationships across borders

Hear from Past Attendees
One of my biggest takeaways from the program is the importance of designing and reflecting on learning spaces. Having the opportunity to design my own space and receive constructive feedback from both facilitators and peers was invaluable, which brings me to the power of community and collaboration. Hearing fellow educators share their challenges and successes has shown me the beauty of turning difficulties into opportunities. Lastly, the expertise and dedication of the facilitators have left a lasting impression on me, growing not only knowledge but also inspiration to continue improving my practice.

Attending REACH Study Programme is such a great sharing moment. Discussing about “Children Rights” becomes an “AHA” moment for a reflection “what have we (adults/educators) done to support the rights?”
