Mr. Farshad Danicek, Reggio Emilia education expert and co-founder of House of Knowledge, recently held the 1st parents education workshop of Reggio Emilia approach. Mr. Farshad Danicek has been engaged in Reggio Education for almost 30 years. During the workshop, he transported parents into Reggio’s world with his rich, professional teaching experience, witty and humorous language, and vivid examples.

Mr. Farshad began by explaining the origins of Reggio Emilia, analyzing the three educational approaches, “Strong, Capable and Resilient”. He used pictures and examples to illustrate how we integrate Reggio’s educational approach smoothly into each class at House of Knowledge.

During the second part of the workshop, Mr. Farshad focused on “what can parents do to support the Reggio principals at home.” He interacted cordially with parents, answering their questions and exploring some examples offered by parents at the beginning of the workshop. In summary, the most effective support parents can offer their children at home is to facilitate the combination of their curiosity and interests, offer appropriate environments and encourage children to find answers and solve problems by themselves.

Participating parents were extremely pleased with the workshop as they were not only able to understand Reggio Emilia approach more deeply, they were also inspired to adopt similar education methods at home which will compliment the methods in practice at school and help strengthen communication between parents and child.

The 2nd parents education workshop will be held on Mar. 22nd. Mr. Farshad will share how parents can facilitate their child’s learning of multiple languages. All parents hope their children can learn a foreign language as speaking multiple languages can expand horizons and build a good foundation for a successful life. Mr. Farshad Danicek will advise you on how to develop your child’s language while they are young and how you can assist them at home.
