This spring, Bow Valley College Early Childhood Education and Development (ECED) students took learning beyond the classroom and across the Atlantic.

A group of ECED diploma students travelled to Italy for an immersive study abroad experience focused on global approaches to early childhood education. From Urbania and Reggio Emilia to Florence, students explored internationally recognized learning philosophies, connected with educators, and reflected on their future as early childhood professionals.

Through cultural experiences, academic learning, and meaningful conversations, students gained new perspectives on advocacy, community, and the role of early childhood educators in shaping the future.

Experiences like this reflect Bow Valley College’s commitment to transformational, globally connected learning opportunities for students.
