An innovative, worldwide acknowledged educational method

Learning by Languages is a method aimed at building and deepening key strategic skills for the future of children: the development of creative thinking, the knowledge of English, the use of technologies and internationality.

Creative thinking development

According to the pedagogist Loris Malaguzzi, children have one hundred languages. The atelier and the expressive activities promoted by the Learning by Languages method encourage the development of creativity along with the many forms of intelligence that belong to children.

Technological and digital innovation

The Learning by Languages method, consistently with the most innovative researches on the role of technologies for teaching, offers digital and multimedia devices that children can use in a simple and intuitive way. 
The computer is present in everyday life for experiments and creative uses; other tools (such as video and overhead projectors, tablets, interactive tables and boards) constitute a digital learning environment that increases the chances of exploring for children.

Who is the atelierista?

The atelierista play a strategic role within the Learning by Languages method: he/she supports teachers with distinctive skills in the arts and contemporary expressive techniques. In the atelier children play with materials and tools able to stimulate them using different expressive and symbolic languages.
