Researching Children Researching the World :

"The arts-based research project 5x5x5=creativity is discovering how this creative potential can be supported in children's and adults' lives, in educational settings and in their homes. It began with five artists in five educational settings and five cultural centres (galleries, theatres, music centres) working in dynamic, multi-professional and researchful partnership to support young children's creativity. It owes a debt to the creative educational approach of early years' settings in Reggio Emilia in Italy, but has developed it own identity." "The book's account of the discoveries over seven years in 55 schools and preschools across five local authorities will whet the appetites of others. Visually exciting, multi-layered and informative, it aims to inspire and transform personal and professional practice in educating children."--BOOK JACKET.
