Fondazione Palazzo Magnani promotes the visual arts<\/strong> through exhibitions and cultural activities. It privileges interdisciplinary dialogue<\/strong>, intercultural encounters<\/strong>, and interchange between different forms of knowledge<\/strong>. In this way an exhibition becomes a cultural project<\/strong>, an occasion designed not only to offer visitors the opportunity to observe valuable works, but also and above all to provide an opportunity<\/strong> for comparison, reflection, growth, criticism and sharing one\u2019s personal knowledge and convictions.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

A constant source of research are workshop-based experiential and narrative approaches to teaching and learning<\/strong>, in recognition that the practice of art is the major route through which individual development<\/strong> and social cohesion<\/strong> can be reconciled.<\/p>\n

Reggio Emilia has long been at the national forefront as one of the cities most attentive towards individuals<\/strong> and their needs throughout the various phases of life, aware of the temporary or permanent difficulties that may occur. We are convinced that art should play a fundamental role in the process of providing support and improvement in matters of health, adversity and vulnerability.<\/strong><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
