19 – 26 October 2020:   All Montessori Roads Lead to Rome – CANCELLED –

Montessori Europe, in conjunction with Montessori Express 2020, has created an opportunity to participate in the special celebration of the 150th birthday of Maria Montessori, with the International Montessori Congress hosted by Dr. Montessori’s founding organisation, Opera Montessori Nazionale (ONM), in Rome.  Montessorians will gather together from across the world to touch the historical context of Montessori and be refreshed by new research and findings on the child. Furthermore, the Congress offers opportunities to visit important Montessori landmarks and see a curated exhibit of Montessori’s original materials. This is an opportunity you do not want to miss. 

The Montessori Express trip ‘All roads lead to Rome’ in October 2020 has been cancelled. Due to the uncertain times we live in, the number of registrations was too low to make the trip possible.
