The International Education Meeting is an initiative of FAACG with the objective of gathering educators of the City of Jundiaí and the region, as well as foreign educators, to reflect on their practices and foster discussions on public policies related to education.

FAACG has a longstanding partnership with Fondazione Reggio Children, in Italy, which is seen by UNESCO as a role model in children education. The Reggio approach, however, is not to be mechanically reproduced, but rather used as an inspiration, since Reggio Emilia experience give voice to the sense of community, listening, putting children on the role of knowledge producers.

We, from FAACG, identify ourselves with these values, the reason why since 2008 we invite Reggio Emilia representatives to our private events, targeted at developing our professionals, and also to public events we organize.

In 2008, Bruna Elena Giacopini joined our event.
In 2009, Maddalena Tedeschi and Francesca Manfredi were present, discussing the theme “From initial questioning to pedagogical documentation”.
