description
The slideshows we present are a synthesis of a photo exhibition about Nursery Schools of the city of Piacenza. The exhibition was a result of a training for teachers about documentation material communication. How can we communicate education professionals’ considerations to a non-professional audience? How to avoid any sort of educational jargon? It’s been a challenge to communicate years of experience in early childhood education, pedagocic quality of services, education policies and much more through a synthetic, effective and above all accessibile documentation. This is the reason for which we’ve carefully considered our language, for there’s a close relationship between the way we talk about the world and the way we think about the world: digging into words, cleaning them from any abused technical term help us to re-think our job. Children and the way we engage with them. We simply described what happens in Nursery Schools in the town of Piacenza.

HOW BIG IS THE WORLD?
Experiencing nursery school as an adventure
part 2
What we do with them.
All toghether is much more better
All the surprises of water: This goes down, this comes up…
… what about that one? Who knows?
Let’s keep on playing in the open air:
…and light games.
water…
Keep your feet on the ground:let the green carpet lull you…
Caressing flowers, with your eyes and hands.
Our imagination is an adventure.
If the world isn’t enough,
let’s create many others.
You are,
but you can turn into
someone else…
Even grown-ups can turn into someone new
Little by little the puppets take shape: let’s play!
After we’ve learnt how to make it move,
we’ll make it talk too !
New worlds are made of new stories.
We can invent a new one each time you’re asked
to take part to the game.
In the game of storytelling,
there are so many different objects,
all mixed up by your imagination.
Taking the World’s measurements.
Playing with objects arouses questions and
engenders explanations: this is what we call
research.
Learnig with others,
Learning from others.
Playing toghether is much more interesting than playing alone:
You discover, you share ideas, you learn.
The space where the story take place.
