This gathering will unite experts, educators, and enthusiasts from around the globe to reflect on Maria Montessori&#8217;s legacy and explore the future of education.<\/p>\n<h2>\n\t\tMontessori Retreat 2025: &#8220;Space, Design, and Learning&#8221;\n\t<\/h2>\n\t<p><strong>Space, design, and learning<\/strong> are deeply interconnected within the <strong>Montessori educational approach<\/strong>. Central to the discussions at the retreat is the book &#8220;Montessori Architectural Patterns&#8221;, which delves into the relationship between the environment, the child, and the educator.<\/p>\n<p>At the core of Montessori&#8217;s architectural philosophy lies the concept of the &#8220;prepared environment.&#8221; For a child to feel secure, the space must be both recognizable and adaptable, enabling free movement and autonomy. <strong>When the environment aligns with the child&#8217;s needs, it fosters natural adaptation and growth<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Creating an effective educational space begins with thoughtful structural design that encourages orientation and safety. This is achieved through interconnected spaces &#8211; whether directional or centralized, large or small, high or low &#8211; designed to stimulate curiosity while <strong>supporting the child&#8217;s developmental and motor needs<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<em>&#8220;The adult, the child, and the environment form a trinity. They should be considered as one.&#8221;<\/em><br \/>\n(Maria Montessori &#8211; London Lectures, 1946, p. 213)\n<h2>\n\t\tMontessori Retreat 2025 Program\n\t<\/h2>\n\t<p><em>28-30 March 2025<\/em><\/p>\n\t<p>Are you curious about what&#8217;s in store during the 3-day Montessori Retreat 2025?<\/p>\n<p><strong>Download the detailed program<\/strong> to explore the full lineup of activities and sessions.<\/p>\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.gonzagarredi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/GAM-Nienhuis-Montessori-Retreat-2025-program-EN-1.pdf\" target=\"_self\" role=\"button\" rel=\"noopener\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tDownload Program\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.gonzagarredi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/GAM-Nienhuis-Montessori-Retreat-2025-program-EN-1.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" itemprop=\"url\">\n\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gonzagarredi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Website-image-Program-GAM2025-1530x1074px-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"GAM-Montessori-Retreat-2025-Program\" itemprop=\"image\" height=\"1790\" width=\"2560\" title=\"Website-image-Program-GAM2025-1530x1074px\" onerror=\"this.style.display='none'\"  \/>\n\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gonzagarredi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/GAM-Montessori-Retreat-2025.jpg\" alt=\"GAM-Montessori-Retreat-2025\" itemprop=\"image\" height=\"586\" width=\"885\" title=\"GAM-Montessori-Retreat-2025\" onerror=\"this.style.display='none'\"  \/>\n<h2>\n\t\tJoin the Retreat\n\t<\/h2>\n\t<p>Don&#8217;t miss the chance to participate in the Montessori Retreat 2025, hosted by GAM in Italy!<\/p>\n<p>Click the link below, complete the form, and receive your registration confirmation.<\/p>\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/gamretreat2025.paperform.co\/\" target=\"_self\" role=\"button\" rel=\"noopener\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tRegister now\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n<h2>\n\t\tSpeakers\n\t<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gonzagarredi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/1462x738-patricia.jpg\" alt=\"1462x738-patricia\" itemprop=\"image\" height=\"738\" width=\"1462\" title=\"1462x738-patricia\" onerror=\"this.style.display='none'\"  \/>\n\t<p><strong>Patricia Wallner<\/strong><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gonzagarredi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/1462x738-mad.jpg\" alt=\"1462x738-mad\" itemprop=\"image\" height=\"738\" width=\"1462\" title=\"1462x738-mad\" onerror=\"this.style.display='none'\"  \/>\n\t<p><strong>Madlena Ulrich<\/strong><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gonzagarredi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/1462x738-marilyne.jpg\" alt=\"Marylin Maugin\" itemprop=\"image\" height=\"738\" width=\"1462\" title=\"1462x738-marilyne\" onerror=\"this.style.display='none'\"  \/>\n\t<p><strong>Marilyne Maugin<\/strong><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<img src=\"https:\/\/www.gonzagarredi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/sprekers-carla-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"sprekers-carla\" itemprop=\"image\" title=\"sprekers-carla\" onerror=\"this.style.display='none'\"  \/>\n\t<p><strong>Carla Foster<\/strong><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<img src=\"https:\/\/www.gonzagarredi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/sprekers-jenny-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"sprekers-jenny\" itemprop=\"image\" title=\"sprekers-jenny\" onerror=\"this.style.display='none'\"  \/>\n\t<p><strong>Jenny Marie H\u00f6glund<\/strong><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gonzagarredi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/GAM-Retreat-2025-baiba.jpg\" alt=\"GAM-Retreat-2025-baiba\" itemprop=\"image\" height=\"1292\" width=\"2560\" title=\"GAM-Retreat-2025-baiba\" onerror=\"this.style.display='none'\"  \/>\n\t<p><strong>Baiba Krumins Grazzini<\/strong><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<img src=\"https:\/\/www.gonzagarredi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/spreakers_1632x824px_jip.jpg\" alt=\"spreakers_1632x824px_jip\" itemprop=\"image\" title=\"spreakers_1632x824px_jip\" onerror=\"this.style.display='none'\"  \/>\n\t<p><strong>Jip Bartels<\/strong><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<img src=\"https:\/\/www.gonzagarredi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/sprekers-benedetto-2-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"sprekers-benedetto-2\" itemprop=\"image\" title=\"sprekers-benedetto-2\" onerror=\"this.style.display='none'\"  \/>\n\t<p><strong>Benedetto Scoppola<\/strong><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gonzagarredi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/sprekers-giovanni-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"sprekers-giovanni\" itemprop=\"image\" height=\"1292\" width=\"2560\" title=\"sprekers-giovanni\" onerror=\"this.style.display='none'\"  \/>\n\t<p><strong>Giovanni Fumagalli<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2>\n\t\tEvent Details\n\t<\/h2>\n\t<strong>Language<\/strong><br \/>\nAll sessions will be conducted in the language of the speakers (Italian or English).
