IFHE & 100 Years
About IFHE
The mission of the International Federation for Home Economics (IFHE) is to provide an international forum for home economists to develop and express the home economics concerns for individuals, families and households at the United Nations and among other international Non-Governmental Organisations whose interests parallel those of home economics.
Congress 2008 – 100th Anniversary
The International Federation for Home Economics (IFHE) will celebrate its 100th anniversary when it meets in Lucerne, Switzerland, July 26-31, 2008, for the XXI. IFHE World Congress. It is fitting that IFHE returns to Switzerland for this Centennial Congress, as the Federation was established in 1908 in Fribourg, Switzerland, following an international conference under the patronage of the Council of State of the Canton of Fribourg. Invitations had been sent to governments and organisations in all countries with known programs in home economics, with 750 individuals from 20 countries attending.
