Azienda Servizi Bassa Reggiana is an association of municipalities managing the development, the qualification and the education of preschool teachers working in sixteen preschools in the Italian district called Bassa Reggiana in the Province of Reggio Emilia. ASBR belongs to 8 municipalities of the district called “Bassa Reggiana” and has been created to allow the municipalities to manage directly the preschools, the overall school system. ASBR has also the aim of developing the participation of parents, politicians, citizens and members of the public society in order to create a community around preschools and, moreover, around children. Another aim of ASBR is to contribute to the creation of an international network that supports the dissemination and reflection around educational connected subjects. Every year ASBR runs, in collaboration with Progettinfanzia, preschools and municipalities, an event in the squares of every village of the district called Piazzedinfanzia (www.piazzedinfanzia.it). Children take care and express their opinion about the “piazza”, the square of the village and, together with parents, educators, teachers, develop activities for other children.
