REGGIO EMILIA, Italy (AP) \u2014 Britain\u2019s Princess Catherine made her first overseas trip since announcing her cancer was in remission, traveling to Italy on Wednesday for a two-day tour focused on an early childhood educational approach that was developed here and exported globally.<\/p>

A crowd welcomed the princess, commonly known as Kate, as she arrived at city hall in Reggio Emilia in northern Italy to learn about its eponymous child-centered approach to early educatio n. The trip is part of what her office called an international \u201cfact-finding mission\u201d to explore different approaches to supporting young children and their carers.<\/p>\n

The Reggio Emilia approach is based on the idea that young children have many different ways of thinking, understanding and expressing themselves, and that teachers need to work with their students to help them learn.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is extraordinary and that is why I wanted to come and visit Reggio Emilia because your history is so rich and I have always been fascinated by the philosophy,\u201d the princess said as she began her program.<\/p>\n

The choice of destination for Kate\u2019s first trip abroad since her 2024 cancer diagnosis is no coincidence as early years development is the signature cause of the mother of three who will one day be queen.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe wants to make a point that she is going to keep making this her cause,\u201d said Joe Little, managing editor of Majesty Magazine.<\/p>\n

Her visit will highlight the idea that the environment and human relationships that surround children are crucial to laying the foundations for a resilient and healthy future, Kensington Palace said in a statement.<\/p>

\n<\/div>\n

\u201cThe Reggio Emilia approach clearly suits the narrative at the start of international operations,\u2019\u2019 Little said.<\/p>\n

The visit is part of her work with the Royal Foundation Centre for Early Childhood, which she founded in 2021 to increase public understanding of the importance of supporting children in the first five years of life.<\/p>\n

One of Britain\u2019s most popular royals, the Princess of Wales has proved to be adept at focusing attention on matters she cares about.<\/p>\n
