The TECHNE SERIES has been initiated to enable studies in Sloyd
(or Crafts) Education and Crafts Science to be published. The series
comprises Series A, which includes Research Reports and series B,
which includes Proceedings, e.g. research surveys and contributions
to discussions and to conferences, in some Nordic language or in
English.

The name of the TECHNE SERIES is derived from the Greek word
techne, which is used in the sense of doing or mastering, both
technically and artistically. It is also used in the widest sense of
knowing and understanding - coping or dealing or being familiar with
something. The concept of techne includes all the various forms of
crafts associated with the Nordic terms forming, håndarbejde and
slöjd (sloyd) as well as duodji or Lappish craft.

SLOYD is used as an umbrella term for different educational crafts
whose scientific basis is to be found in Sloyd (or Crafts) Education
and Crafts Science.
