The Reggio Children Project 2023, funded by National Pyjama Day
What is the Reggio Children Project 2023, funded by National Pyjama Day?
Early Childhood Ireland’s National Pyjama Day is the largest one-day fundraising event organised by the Early Years and School Age Care sector in Ireland. Now in its 19th year, the event has raised more than €3.7 million for charities that support babies and young children. Over 65,000 children at 1,300 settings across Ireland participate in National Pyjama Day each year. The funds raised on National Pyjama Day 2022 are supporting autism charity AsIAm and our new member project, inspired by Reggio Children.
The Reggio Children Project 2023, funded by National Pyjama Day aims to facilitate collaborations between educators and children and between educators and policymakers.
It will deliver three interconnected activities, including:
1. A Reggio Emilia Study Tour for 23 members of Early Childhood Ireland in April
2. A week-long event in participation with Reggio Children in Ireland in May, with a focus on ‘quality in education’ aimed at Early Childhood Ireland’s members, stakeholders and policy makers, to include setting visits and seminars
3. A bespoke eLearning toolkit for members of Early Childhood Ireland available from September, inspired by the collaboration between Early Childhood Ireland and Reggio Children
