The kybun school

The Tipiti school in the Appenzell region in Trogen, Switzerland, is trying something new

They are implementing an innovative pedagogical approach that allows the pupils to move freely in the classroom. This brings variation into the daily routine at school. It encourages the pupils to be active and prevents bad posture and muscle tension. The elastic and springy kybun mat is especially popular. The pupils enjoy working on the special springy mat, where they can shift their weight around and stay active. The increased amount of movement has made the classroom more quiet and peaceful. You can find out what the teachers and pupils have to say about the kybun mat in the video clip.
