It's the 1970s. New schools and kindergartens open throughout the Reggio Emilia area. These are years of participation in a collective vision, in which educational work is a tool and a symbol for enacting the change that is desired in society.

A long relay race is the podcast in three episodes that tells the story of how the 0-6 educational services were born in Reggio Emilia.

After the Second World War, Italian society faced the new challenge represented by the need to harmonize different demands and values. Even the creation of nursery schools and nursery schools is a terrain on which different visions clash. The vision of education, like the vision of society, of the future, is a path that in the Reggio Emilia area is carried forward by the many women who, in politics, in society, as in schools, fight for an inclusive, democratic and participatory vision.

Reggio Emilia is not a famous city, nor particularly well-known. It is therefore difficult to imagine that a pedagogical model was born here which, in the 1990s, would become the most famous in the world. Since the Nineteenth century, kindergartens have been created in these lands and models for the education of girls and boys have been experimented with. But Fascism and its ancillary vision of the role of women blocked experimentation and possibilities for twenty years. It will be the participation of women in the Partisan movement that will give a role back to women, who after the war will play a leading role in politics, in society, in associations, in the fight for rights.
