Session 7: Visions for the Future (20 April)

Integrating Ecology and Technology

Aims and objectives of the module:

• Encouraging educators to create a space where ecological learning and technology work harmoniously together;
• Exploring our personal perspective and relationship to technology, nature and our collective future.

This session aims to create awareness around the interrelatedness of the evolution of technology and ecological concerns. We will explore what we mean when we speak about technology, the perceptions we hold about the future and collectively reimagine and envision which benefits we can harvest when ecology and technology work in harmony.
