Children are not to be brushed aside and they can be teacher's themselves. It is the teacher whom children look up to and relate their imagination. Children need much more than three "R's" of reading, writing and arithmetic. Only we need to tap it and that the children have enormous creativity to express it. "100" is perhaps a wonderful way of saying it but they really have a 1000 languages more. It is an extra ordinary exhibition and I hope that all the 5000 schools in Delhi would benefit by visiting the exhibition.

The future of our country is in the hands of our children and exhibition like this are for sure bound to exhibit the creativity of children and probably will confine not only to elite schools of Delhi but will be open to all schools. "I hope Mr. Salwan will find ways and means to bring the masses to this wonderful and excellent work or take this piece of art to the entire country.

Reggio teachers live in close relation with problems of life, because child is not separate from the life and child is in same world, so they have a lot of questions and queries to ask. Teacher is the part of the process .She is not outside the process .She stays close to children to discover possibilities.

The need to celebrate diversity is important and India is a diverse land - it has distinct pursuits, different convictions and customs. To handle diversity in classroom, the teacher should understand the culture from where the child comes. Each case is different and unique. We have to reach out to them and hear them patiently.

This exhibition by the children says that a child is to be taken care of and to be loved of. We seldom see the children's hands and brain are hampering the creativity of a child - that means we are robbing something from the entire human race.

Reggio Emilia philosophy is constructed through ages of research. There is often a temptation to take this image and accept it as it is. I believe that people are true philosophers and never before have I thought of children in such a respectable manner".

We as teachers should organize classroom structure and activities in variety of ways to promote interactions and emphasis on children sharing their experience and views in their own words, ways & action.

When children and parents receive respect, they learn how to show respect. Once their sense of self esteem goes up, the desire to keep moving up is realized. Getting the exhibition to India - A hundred languages of children - was my dream - and congratulations to Mr. Inder Dutt to have initiated a process to make this day come true.

Children must be inoculated with "Values" right from their early childhood and taught the importance of "Guru-Shishya'
relationship. The 'Guru' must possess the
power to transmit that impulse and the 'Shishya' must also be fit to receive it. Only then the awakening will succeed.

Among various roles, the most important thing is to foster human into more desirable human beings and in line with this philosophy, the recent education environment is pursuing "humanization of education environment". I am convinced that this SalwanReggio partnership is one step in that directions and it is our endeavour to strengthen such relations to get quality education into India. We are committed to bring 'innovation' in education.

We have always encouraged "innovation" in education - through collaborative learning processes. Whether it was the University of Cambridge, The Auroville Society on Sustainable Development, INTACH, or Reggio Emilia - we always believe such investments will bring freshness in our thought process and create a new vision for the next generation.

We visualize promoting children's education though development of all their languages - expressive, communicative, symbolic, ethical, cognitive, relational and imaginative. We are adopting the Reggio Emillia approach which symbolizes an education which is 'effective and humane'.
