Here is an outstanding example of a light in the darkness.
We all know that these are difficult times, and that on the vulnerable frontline are the pioneering initiatives.One such is the outstanding ReMida Odense, a centre for creativity conceived and run by our colleagues of the Denmark Reggio Network.
You can read about the ReMida centre here. It is under threat of closure, and of course they are working hard to change this course. The organisation has been immensely bolstered by the efforts of Vigga and Elise, two local children who have set up a local and Facebook campaign. It is not only heartening but necessary to have the power of a community involved in educational actions such as ours - the history of Reggio is a prime example. This is such a strong example of community action – and a powerful example of children as advocates and leaders in society. Well done to them!
You can read about their 'Save Remida' campaign on Facebook here, and if you want sign their petition.
