This collection of photos is beautiful.
We can call it a "Book" or a "Bunch of Photos."
Or "Keeping Memories," so that when we die we remember this school.
(from a conversation with the older children of the Center)
Choosing to document observations, reflections, and reworkings of sequences and events with graphics, conversations, and photographs means restoring the identity of the group and the individual children and, at the same time, spreading childhood culture. Documentation is an educational practice; it is an element of quality, evaluation, and self-evaluation of educational action.
Panels, publications, and daily logbooks are tools that highlight children's processes and their ongoing evolution in the eyes of teachers and parents. They also allow children to see themselves, recognize themselves, become aware of their achievements, and enhance their own and group identities.
In recounting their experiences, we have chosen to rely on the most authentic voices: those of the boys and girls, the true protagonists of the educational journey. The captions accompanying the educational documents preserve their thoughts, born spontaneously as they revisit images and memories, like a living echo of emotions and discoveries.
Their perspectives, also involved in the reworking of their experiences, are for us a precious sign of the childhood vision that guides us: a childhood rich in potential, capable of meaning and wonder, to be welcomed as active protagonists of their own growth.
