Symposia Advancing Comprehensive Early Childhood Intervention S6.05 The Rights of Children: Reggio Emilia’s Influence in a Global Context Symposium Organizer: Marisa Macy (USA) Affiliation : University of Wyoming
The focus on asserting children’s rights reflects the shift in our understanding of children and childhood and is mirrored in the provisions of the United Nations (UN) Convention of the Rights of the Child (CRC) and the UN Convention of the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD) (UN, 1989; 2006). We seek to better understand the rights of children in a global context. We will discuss early childhood practices from the Reggio Emilia approach to education and the influence on children with disabilities and their families. The symposium will cluster around four topics: (1) inclusion concepts from Reggio Emilia approach; (2) global rights for children with disabilities and “special right” of children in Reggio Emilia Nido and classroom(s); (3) observation, documentation, and authentic assessment from Reggio Emilia perspective, and (4) inclusive Reggio Emilia-inspired program in the USA for children who are deaf or hard of hearing. This symposium seeks to explore how we can promote interdisciplinary professionals with a stimulating conversation about children’s rights.
