Mission

The purpose of the EECE TC is to provide a forum for the international exchange of scientific and technical ergonomics information related to children and educational environments.

The Committee promotes professional and public awareness of ergonomics related to children of all abilities in all aspects of their lives and the application of ergonomics in all educational environments.


JOIN THE IEA 2006 SCHOOL TOUR!

In informal conjunction with IEA2006, Dr. Dieter Breithecker is making possible a tour of a school that has implemented practices and design aimed at making it a "moving school".

Papers and documents in English describing the school and philosophy can be found at:
http://www.bag-haltungundbewegung.de/540.0.html

The school is in Hannover, Germany, about 2 hours by train or car north of Frankfurt. The tour will be scheduled for the morning of Friday 7 July 2006. Transportation and accommodations will be each individual's own responsibility.

The suggested schedule is to arrive in Hanover Thursday 6 July, and stay for the night. The tour will be completed by early afternoon on Friday 7 July allowing plenty of time to travel from there to Maastricht, the Netherlands by the opening reception on Sunday 9 July.
