A global apporach to design and technology
conference contribution
posted on 2006-05-09, 15:40 authored by Catherine Budgett-MeakinWhat contribution does Technology in schools have to make to sustainable development?
For how much longer can Technology barely consider the environmental consequences of conventional
technologies?
And for how much longer can Technology be so Eurocentric, First World-centric and consumer-centric?
Sustainable Development, as defined in the Brundtland Report 1987, is 'development that meets the
needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs'.
These three questions give a flavour of my angle and concerns.
