review: International Symposium

History 2014/2015

International Symposium on Handwriting Skills

A very succesful expert meeting 2014 with an active exchange of ideas led to the establishment of an annual panel of experts from various disciplines with focus on handwriting.

The expert meeting at the Schreibmotorik Institut e.V. in Heroldsberg, Germany, “What is Good Handwriting?” was successfully held on February 2014. This expert meeting offered an international dialogue with scientists, specialists and practitioners, who discussed the scientific foundations for learning to write, its complexity and the role of writing motor skills. As a result of this kick-off event with leading researchers in the field  of handwriting skills, the Schreibmotorik Institut e.V. decided to establish an annual international symposium on Handwriting Skills.
