🌈The Hundred Ways to Be – Where Mythology Meets Childhood

 There are stories that we tell to remember… and stories that we live to discover.

The Hundred Ways to Be was born from that second kind — from the stories that grow roots in the imagination of children and bloom through play, art, and wonder.

🌿 Why Reggio Emilia?

In our classrooms, mythology is not something to be taught.
It is something to be felt.

When children meet a myth, they meet it through:
🎨 the colors they mix with their tiny fingers,
🌱 the leaves they gather from the school garden,
💃 the rhythm of their footsteps in a circle of dance,
🎶 the whispers of wind they turn into sound,
🖌️ the traces they leave on paper — stories of their own becoming.

We are inspired by the Reggio Emilia philosophy, which reminds us that:
🏫 The environment is a living teacher — one that invites exploration.
🧒 The child is a creator, not a receiver of knowledge.
🎭 Beauty and metaphor help us understand the invisible.
🤝 And learning grows best in dialogue — in the joy of doing together.

Here, every myth becomes a journey, not a lesson.
A journey of curiosity, imagination, and connection — where the gods and goddesses of old turn into mirrors of our emotions, reflections of nature, and symbols of what it means to be alive.

💫 A Hundred Ways to Be

Our title is inspired by Loris Malaguzzi’s beautiful idea — “the hundred languages of children.”
Every child has a hundred ways to speak, draw, dance, listen, imagine, and dream.
And through this project, we are listening to them all.

🌬️ The voices of Nature — wind, water, silence, and birds — become instruments in The Orchestra of Forest and Sky.
💬 The voices of Children across Europe meet and blend in shared laughter and creation — like in The Joy Drink.
🌞 The voices of Mythology guide us through light and shadow — The Vase of Light and Shadow teaches us about feelings, duality, and transformation.
🧩 The voices of Logic and Digital Media connect our ideas through coding, mapping, and creativity — as in The Gaia Code Chain.

Each voice adds a new color to our common canvas.

💖 Why It Matters

The Reggio Emilia approach reminds us that children are not empty vessels to be filled, but flames to be kindled.
When we listen to their voices — the loud, the quiet, the poetic — we discover not just how children learn, but how they are.

Through The Hundred Ways to Be, we hope to:
🌟 nurture creativity and problem-solving,
🌍 build bridges between cultures,
🔗 connect art, nature, and technology,
💞 and celebrate every child’s unique way of being in this world.

🌸 Our Shared Vision

Together, we are creating a project where mythology meets childhood,
where imagination has space to grow,
and where every child’s voice — from every corner of Europe — can whisper, sing, and shine.

Because there is no single way to learn,
no single way to feel,
no single way to be.

There are a hundred ways to be —and each one is beautiful. 🌈
