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. www.infanziaineuropa.eu

HOW BIG IS THE WORLD?
Experiencing nursery school as an adventure
part 1
A short story about Piacenza’s Nursery Schools.Comune di Piacenza
Meeting children
A brand new world:
Children discover a
new place so that
parents must learn to
trust them.
News for the
“housekeepers” too:
meeting children for
the fisrt time or
children transformed
by a summertime.
Habits, uncertainty,
tears, reassuring
voices, caresses: this
is the beginning of a
big adventure.
Our
senses:
a bridge
to the
world.
Hands are our first moving toy.
We watch them shaking in front of us.
Little by little our gestures become self aware.
Powerful and flexible tools
to explore the nearest world: our body.
Ears, hands, mouth, eyes, nose.
We use them to “feel” the world.
They let us meet people and things we
want to experience.
MEETING OBJECTS:
Objects we meet by chance, objects we were looking for.
We can sit and explore them or just keep on doing something else.
Things have a
sort of skin
we can feel:
hot, cold,
smooth,
creased…
Surfaces
sliding on our
fingers.
Colours
surfing on
our eyes.
By our hands we can explore different shapes
but we can create them as well.
they just slip out…
…and sometimes
One finger is enough to
transform them in a
while…
We can submerge ourselves in colours
and enjoy the light creating them.
Keeping coulours in our hands…
…make colours move…
…looking through colours
…creating cloured shapes and replicating them…
