Welcome to the new IDEC-website, version 2012 !

On this site you can find general information concerning the activities of the International Development in Europe Committee (IDEC) of the International Reading Association.
Since 1979 the IDEC has brought together representatives of the national reading associations in Europe. These National Associations have become or are in the process of becoming affiliated to the International Reading Association. At this moment we have over 30 members in IDEC.

The new site is much more interactive. We have changed the website from a Joomla 1.0 website into a WordPress 2.0 website.
You will find pages with general information, but also running posts, which will keep you up to date on news from IDEC. We have a Forum we can use to discuss things and you can add your comments to most of the pages and posts. Please be active and tell us what you like and what you would like us to add or change.

This website is under construction and shall be evaluated on the IDEC meeting in Vienna Januari 31 2012.
