Dialogue visit of the Ex Caffarri spaces

A place that was once the carpenter's workshop of the Officine Meccaniche Reggiane, then a feed mill, becomes a space dedicated to research, education and sustainability, in dialogue with the neighbourhood, the city and communities around the world.

At the Caffarri in Reggio Emilia, located a stone's throw from the Loris Malaguzzi International Centre and Reggiane Innovation Park, the Fondazione Reggio Children sets its research on quality education, solidarity, regeneration, social and environmental sustainability, and creative learning, seeking interactions and convergences and involving new partners.

The Ex Caffarri is also the new headquarters of Remida, the Creative Recycling Centre of Reggio Emilia.

Organised by the Reggio Children Foundation Loris Malaguzzi Centre

Ages: 1-99

Free entrance by booking at the link.

(maximum 20 participants)
