More move­ment in the classroom: Pader­born stu­dents give re­com­mend­a­tions for ac­tion

Height-adjustable furniture, designated movement zones and more: sports students at Paderborn University have developed recommendations for action for movement-orientated classroom design in primary schools as part of a seminar. They have now presented these to experts from various sectors - from schools, trades and architecture to municipal administration - and discussed them with them. The next step is to incorporate the results into everyday…
