Join the LINC Programme and international guests for an online event exploring Reggio-inspired practice and children’s rights.
The Leadership for INClusion in the Early Years (LINC) Programme is delighted to host the online launch of two international publications exploring the contribution of the Reggio Emilia experience to the advancement of children’s rights in a global context.
Taking place on Thursday, June 11th, 2026 at 7pm, this event celebrates the annual United Nations' International Day of Play, the theme of which in 2026 is, "Protect Play, Protect Childhood".
Since its establishment in 2016, in addition to reflecting Irish curriculum and quality frameworks, the LINC Programme has been informed by key Reggio principles including the image of the child, the hundred languages of children, a pedagogy of listening, and the environment as the third teacher, alongside the Irish curriculum and quality frameworks.
The event will be opened by Prof Peter Moss, followed by a presentation from Anne Macken, Early Childhood Educational Manager, on how Reggio-inspired practice is realised at her setting: Happy Days, Ballyporeen, Co. Tipperary. To conclude, there will be an opportunity for questions and discussions with presenters, editors and authors who are present.
