TFIEY Overview of ECEC Provisions in Italy: Diversity and New Challenges TFIEY Overview of ECEC Provisions in Italy: Diversity and New Challenges Susanna Mantovani Università degli studi di Milano-Bicocca, Torino, Gennaio 2016 Presentation Overview 1. The National Context 2. New Perspectives (Law 107/2015) ‘an integrated 0-6 system’ 3. Challenges 4. What do teachers and parents think: first data from the CARE Project 1. The National Context 1.1 Children in Italy: some data ► Children 0-5: 3.300.874 ► Children birth rate decreasing since 2008 ► Today: - 1,42% ► Less children in each family, born later (average age of first child: 30,6 years) (Data Source: ISTAT, 2014) Italy faces major changes and ECEC reflects them with lights and shadows: ► in recent years we can observe in Italy a growing engagement in promoting the rights of children: Italy has since 5 years a National Independent Authority for children (“Garante dell’Infanzia”) and Regional Authorities; ► the National Observatory on Childhood and Adolescence and the Childhood Parliament Commissions are networking with a large and significant groups of non profit organizations (e.g.C.R.C.) and initiatives like TFIEY; ► Health and inclusion have strong points: - all resident children have a right to a pediatrician chosen by their family; - children with disabilities and socially disadvantaged children have priority in ECEC. ► On the other hand economic crisis, political instability, diversity in local administrations’ efficiency have caused an unbalanced distribution of resources emphasizing difficulties. ►ECEC reflects the tension between local and national policies: an example is PAC (Piano Azione Coesione) ,a program directed to four Southern Regions (Puglia, Campania, Sicilia, Calabria) earmarking structural funds (400 millions for ECEC): to the present time, only part of these funds has been used, while many other Regions and Cities in other part of the country are struggling for resources. ►The first challenge is to generalize the provisions for children 3-6; ►the second is to extend 0-3 services to fulfill Lisbon goals; ►the third is to implement an integrated 0-6 system, keeping as compass the rights of all children, shared ideas on quality and sustainability and within a regular and predictable financing policy; ►the fourth challenge is to find a balance between local traditions and a common national policy. ► The system is at present split and the process of integration – both in the sense of governance and of continuity within services is in motion but the diversity of ECEC creates obstacles in reaching integration which require strong efforts in a short time as required by the new bill 107/2015. ► There is diversity in distribution of services, in hours offered, in professional development, in costs, in fees families have to deal with the 0-3 services. ► Data are fragmented and collected with different criteria from the reliable sources (ISTAT, Istituto degli Innocenti, MIUR, Municipal Statistical Sources. etc.). This presentation deals mainly with Nidi (0-3, Infant Toddler Centres) which are by and large the most extended and requested services. ► A number of other ECEC services have developed since the Mid Eighties and are at present attended by 4-5% of children between 0-3: - part-time or Home Based Centres for Children and Families (CBF) (Mantovani, 2001; Bove & Di Giandomenico, 2015) financed locally through the Bill 285/1997; - Sezioni Primavera (children 2-3), bridging to Scuola dell’Infanzia, located in Nidi or Scuole dell’Infanzia and supported by the Ministry of Education (MIUR). ► The integrated 0-6 system will need to encompass these services, finding a balance between local flexibility and national regulations. 1.2 The Italian ECEC System 92% + coverage & 2% ca Sezioni 3-6 Primavera SCUOLA DELL’INFANZIA Pre-primary schools & Sezioni Primavera Ministry of Education ECEC 19% coverage SYSTEM 0-3 NIDI (from 1% to 40%) & Creche, Infant-Toddler 2% ca.

Municipal and FISM Schools offer more weekly hours and more opening weeks per year. Considering that Nidi (0-3) are to a very large extent provided by the Municipal System it is clear that the perspective of an integrated system focussed on continuity cannot overlook this variety of deeply rooted and often high quality experiences. Cities of the North and Centre , with a strong Municipal tradition or cities with a strong tradition of Catholic schools are major providers of 0-6 ECEC services and have in many cases experience of 0-6 continuity and good integration among providers as foreseen by the new law. Once again the distribution ( or concentration) of ECEC dpes not allow to average the data of ECEC 2. Perspectives and challenges for the future 2.1 Perspectives ► Italian ECEC has contributed to the development of ideas and experiences in ECEC, which have influenced the conceptualization and the lexicon, the metaphors of the ECEC in-language. ► In recent years Italian ECEC has mainly tried to resist to difficulties and financial cuts rather than expand in extension and in new perspectives. ► From these difficulties and from a stronger contact with other systems – to learn from them rather than being looked at as a model – new ideas and “generative” solutions are emerging and we are facing a great opportunity. ► The superdiversity Italy is facing with all other countries which have developed an ECEC system urges a deep refocusing of organizational ad pedagogical priorities for all our children. ► Inclusion of all children, and priority access for more vulnerable children, is sustained by the national and local legislation, but ECEC services and professionals have not yet developed effective practices shared at National level. ► In the lack of research on outcomes some recent and original research clearly indicates the positive effect of ECEC services attendance to prevent marginalization and school failure (Del Boca, 2014) but children with new vulnerabilities and in particular children with an immigration background are exposed to high risks. ► The irregular distribution of services, the erratic funding and the unequal capacity of central and local authorities to implement quality and quantity are major problems. ► There is a wide diversity in calendar and timing, costs, fees for families for the 0-3 services in regular professional development. ► EEC for the very young (0-3) poses affordability questions for providers and families. ► As consequence for the first time in many years, we observe a decrease in attending ECEC in certain areas of the Country, while elsewhere there are still with waiting lists in or a total absence of provisions. ► It is time for a national ECEC policy which can mediate between common rules and goals and local good practices, values and traditions. ►The well known Italian experiences are also those where organization and costs are better monitored to maximize quality and sustainability: in contradiction with current beliefs the most valued experience– Reggio Emilia – is one of the best instances of careful cost control, active fundraising, integration between municipal, state and private non profit providers and sustainability: children in ECEC services in Reggio Emilia cost considerably less than in much weaker services elsewhere.

  • REGGIO EMILIA for EXPO MILANO 2015 Reggio Emilia, at the Heart of Italy’S Food Valley , Is a City That Has a Natural Bent for International Relations and Dialogue
    REGGIO EMILIA FOR EXPO MILANO 2015 Reggio Emilia, at the heart of Italy’s Food Valley , is a city that has a natural bent for international relations and dialogue. Reggio Emilia is the ideal region to find new opportunities to learn more, build and strengthen synergistic international partnerships with all the stakeholders who are aware of the cultural challenge that is the Expo Milano 2015, “ Feeding the planet, Energy for life ” – from May 1 to October 31, 2015. To celebrate the Expo, Reggio Emilia has come up with a complimentary range of events, places, companies, products, socialisation opportunities and tours for a first-hand experience of the region, and to form major international partnerships. Moreover Reggio Emilia’s institutions along with all economic players – Chamber of Commerce, trade associations, research centres and universities – have developed a number of ideas for tours and meetings with trade associations, businesses, innovation and research centres, to learn more about partnership and business opportunities and to boost the creation of strategic business relations. A HIGH-SPEED CITY Reggio Emilia is a special place for the people who will be taking part in or visiting the Expo Milano 2015 to stop and see, not least because of its high-speed “Reggio Emilia AV Mediopadana” train station, one of the main high-speed stations in northern Italy and one of the most important junctions in the midst of the Po valley. Easily accessible from the old city centre (4 km) as well as from the motorway (2 km), the high-speed “Reggio Emilia AV Mediopadana” train station is an architectural masterpiece designed by Santiago Calatrava , who also designed the three bridges that connect it to the motorway and to the city’s main thoroughfares.

  • Reggio Emilia, IT
    Reggio Emilia, IT Reggio Emilia is a middle size city of about 170.000 inhabitants, located in Northern Italy. In June 2013 the new High Speed station of Reggio Emilia, called Mediopadana, located 4 km far from the city centre and conceived by Santiago Calatrava, opened to the passengers’ traffic. The HS Station is “in line” - out of the city centre - and it serves the whole territory, the so called “station catchment area”. And the main opportunity for Reggio Emilia is exactly to extend the HS station The ULSG in Reggio Emilia: Monthly / bi- positive spin-off by disposing of a more efficient and monthly ULSG meetings, 44 members in total “permeable” infrastructural systems serving the HS with an average number of 23 participants, a station to the of the whole station catchment area “core” inner group and a special participation and benefit functioning as an intermodal junction. of the University of Ferrara with both professors and students The main finding of the LAP is the need to strengthen the links between the station and its territory, through effective planning and mobility solutions. For this reason Reggio Emilia focuses its Local Action Plan mainly following the macro-theme “hub as a node-interface” and in particular on two themes and actions. Action 1. Interchange node (railway-railway networking): link the HS main railway with the regional and local railways (secondary system, much more widespread) in order to make accessible the The Mediopadana station in the northern area two systems to as many users as possible. Improving of Reggio Emilia the railway connection among HS Station, other urban poles, including the city centre, and other urban centres belonging to the catchment area.

It starts in Canterbury (UK), touches 13 European regions and ends in Rome. An ancient track of this route is in Sicily (Southern Italy), and its name is Magna Via Francigena (Great Francigena Way). This track is a pilgrimage route that connects two ancient port cities, Palermo and Agrigento, passing through internal rural territories that now deal with the exodus of population from rural to urban areas. The route passes through the Sicilian territory named “Upper-Belìce corleonese”, a rural area around the city of Corleone (a little village known worldwide for the sad Mafia events) that includes a number of municipalities. In the past, this religious pilgrimage was a fundamental part of the expression of faith for Christians and now still represents for Sicilians a strong symbol of Christian identity. In recent decades, pilgrimage tourism around the world has grown significantly each year. The aim of the study is to know the pilgrims’ motivations for choosing the Magna Via Francigena pilgrimage as a vacation and any possible similarities between pilgrimage tourism and food and wine tourism, in the wider context Citation: Claudio, B.; Valeria, S.; of sustainable and slow tourism.

  • The Reggio Emilia Approach
    The Reggio Emilia Approach Prospect Latin School focuses on the Reggio Emilia (pronounced red'jO AmE'lya) approach to early childhood education. Hailed by Newsweek Magazine® as “the best preschool approach in the world,” the Reggio approach was developed after World War II for municipal pre-primary schools (children under age six) in Reggio Emilia, Italy. The approach allows children to readily acquire the skills of critical thinking and collaboration and today, has been widely adopted throughout the United States, Europe, New Zealand, and Australia. Characteristics include: Inquiry and Invention Documentation as Assessment & Advocacy Students have an innate desire to understand their world Teachers act as documenters for the children, helping and master ways of interacting in it. Students learn them trace and revisit their words and actions and through the complementary processes of (1) Inquiry: a thereby making the learning visible. Teachers document cycle of hypothesis, experimentation, and conclusion and and display the student’s project work to help student’s (2) Invention: a cycle of experience, reflection, and express, revisit, construct, and reconstruct their feelings, expression. ideas, and understandings. Similar to the portfolio approach, documentation of children's work-in-progress Research Projects: Connecting Ideas is viewed as an important tool in the learning process. Groups of students engage in multi-disciplinary research Pictures of children engaged in experiences, their words projects. Research groups apply cognitive, expressive, as they discuss what they are doing, feeling, and thinking and inventive skills by responding, recording, playing, and the children's interpretation of experience through exploring, hypothesis building, testing, and provoking the visual media are displayed as a graphic presentation upon their thoughts and ideas.
