Robin has been working closely with Edopia as a consultant for the past nine years, guiding our Early Years team through ongoing training, observation cycles, and collaborative growth. His mentorship has significantly shaped our understanding of environment design, and child-centred learning.

This five-day training and learning experience offers a unique opportunity to learn directly from a leading Reggio Emilia expert. Participants will observe how the Reggio Emilia approach is practiced through children's play, exploration, and everyday experiences. They will also have the opportunity to interact with the expert, ask questions, and discover how thoughtfully designed spaces and activities encourage children's curiosity and learning. It is an immersive experience that supports educators and parents in strengthening their philosophy, sharpening their practice, and returning to their own contexts with clarity, inspiration, and practical tools.
