The Hundred Languages of Childhood

Present Platon School’s early-years identity through a child’s point of view, expressing the culture and spirit of the school. The school told us that its educational philosophy follows the Reggio Emilia approach.

With the school’s Reggio Emilia philosophy as our starting point, we proposed using The Hundred Languages as the narration. The poem gave us a narrative thread through which to express that philosophy from a child’s point of view.

We built the film around two pupils reciting the poem, while the images explore a small world of children’s crafts.
