REYN Italy has been launched
Last May Associazione 21 luglio announced the starting of REYN Italy (Romanì Early Years Network – Net for the Romani first childhood), a project aimed at supporting professionals and para-professionals working with Roma communities in Italy in the field of early childhood development (ECD).
REYN is part of and managed by ISSA (International Step by Step Association). It promotes equal, inclusive and quality services for Roma children and families through professional development and sharing of experiences among ECD professionals and practitioners at international level. In Italy, the project is realized thanks to the support of the Open Society Foundations’ Roma ‘Kopaçi’ Initiatives within the Early Childhood Program, London.
The Italian project has been presented in Torino, Roma and Reggio Calabria, engaging ECD experts from the North to the South of the country and collecting, so far, more than 50 subscriptions among individuals and organizations.
From now on it will be possible to follow updating related to REYN Italy through its blog: https://reynitaliablog.wordpress.com. Moreover, there will be the opportunity to enter in contact with REYN Italy’s members, joining its FB group restricted to professionals and practitioners that registered for the network.
REYN Italy is also reachable on Linkedin.
If you are an ECD professional or practitioner, or if you know one interested, you can freely join the network by sending an e-mail to reynitalia@21luglio.org.
