IO1, the literature review, was designed to develop a state-of-the-art as to the role of ecological ethics within technological education. Through a transdisciplinary approach, IO1 sought to understand the diverse ways in which ethics is presently taught in technological education, and to what extent, and by whom, there are efforts to develop this. It aimed to outline the different approaches to environmentalism as well as ecological thinking within technological education and to problematise these approaches, opening the door for a more profound consideration of the intersections between techne and ecology. Additionally, the IO developed a workshop, nicknamed The Tree, in which participants were able to establish a mutual understanding of ecological ethics and a working set of terms to describe and collaborate.
