Discover Remida: A Warm Welcome to Our New Subscribers

Welcome to ReMida Perth, a Reggio-inspired creative reuse centre in West Perth! We've had a bunch of new subscribers this month, and we wanted to say thanks for being part of the community by sharing more about who we are and what we do.

The quiet before the creativity.

ReMida: the who, what, and why

Remida Perth is part of the international network of ReMida centres, which began its journey in WA in 2004. We collect discarded materials and directly repurpose them into classrooms and community-based arts and education activities. There are four main parts to what we do:

1. We keep discarded materials from entering landfills.

2. We deliver STEM and Reggio-inspired incursions and excursions throughout WA.

3. We offer professional learning to educators and artists, and,

4. We're the home of Jellyfish Plastics, a plastic reuse initiative that turns plastic bottle caps into beautiful, purposeful items.

   
   

ReMida is a place where curiosity meets creativity. Each visit to the centre offers a different and rewarding collection experience, supported by our volunteers and staff. We're a small, dynamic team whose passion for all things ReMida and Reggio is evident throughout our building in West Perth.
