Yes, but not yet unless you can study in Italian ...
June 9th you could come to Rome for a one day conference, for example, on Neuroscience and Montessori 0-3
OSSERVO L’ALTRO, DUNQUE APPRENDO
Dialogo tra le neuroscienze e l’esperienza del Centro Nascita Montessori
Grazia Honegger Fresco offered this course in 2012
The year before I came to Italy for the course with Grazia Honegger Fresco I had attended UCSC second year Italian class with 18 and 19 year old students, many of whom were Spanish speaking, which means they had more than a slight advantage. I had taken Italian 2 at University when I was 18 but that was the last time I had formally studied it. My first visit to Rome in 2010 I had to use French to communicate with the director of the Montessori Birth Center and with those who didn't speak French or English I muddled along with 20 year old memories of Italian grammar. Much of what I was there to hear drifted over me like musical notes. In 2012, with my new skills, I was able to follow the 0-3 course and participate in the discussions. But I still joked about how I was getting 50% (at best) of the content.
These two associations offer trainings for 0-3 in Italy. The Montessori Birth Center is located in Rome but offers their trainings around Italy as well, using a weekend format, and the association in the north of Italy, Percorsi Per Crescere (PPC) offers trainings and professional development for 0-3 as well as run a private school using the Montessori educational philosophy. Two of the PPC trainers were present in Prague as collaborators in the Cosmic Task 0-3 Breakout session. The videos used in the films were taken in their Nidos (Nido means 0-3 in Italy).
