Co-creating a Doughnut Economics Book Club Guide (Past)
A 90 minute event to co-create a guide for those who want to explore the book, Doughnut Economics, together
Please Note: This event has now finished and can no longer be joined.
Book clubs and study groups are a great way to get to know the ideas of Doughnut Economics and discuss them with other people to think about how they could be applied to your place and your community.
A number of groups from around the world have already held book clubs and study groups on Doughnut Economics: seven ways to think like a 21st century economist to deepen their knowledge of the ideas and discuss how they can be put into practice.
So we thought, wouldn't it be great if we created an event to draw on this experience of what makes a good Doughnut Economics book club or study group, as well as inviting the ideas of the DEAL Community, to create a Book Club Guide (as a tool on the platform) for anyone who'd like to start a book club of their own?
This 90 minute event will be held on zoom (link above) and will invite your examples of what's worked as well as explore ideas of what might not yet have been tried. There will no doubt be lots of ways to hold a great book club or study group (which is great!), so we'll aim to capture and develop some of these to go in the guide.
So do express your interest by clicking 'Join' in the event page above, share the event with others who might be interested, share any ideas you might have in the comments below, and join us on 22nd April (@ 7pm BST / 8pm CEST) via the zoom link above.
No matter who you are (some cats have even been known to take an interest), or where you are (whether you're on a beach or in a snowy woodland), we look forward to co-creating with you!

I have a MSc and PhD in Architectural Engineering. After graduation, I worked for almost 16 years at a research group in building physics, with a short stay inbetween at the energy administration of Brussels. Since 2007 I have my own Sustainability Research and Education Team at the Faculty of Architecture & art, Hasselt University, Belgium. I'm strongly interested in guiding people, students and professionals in the building sector towards more sustainable choices, especially with regard to the use of natural resources, but with attention to social justice. I'm highly inspired by the principles of doughnut economics and sufficiency and try to introduce them both in my professional and personal life. You can find one of my lectures on doughnut economics for university students (in Dutch) through the Facebook link.

Helping create a life of freedom, equal opportunity and a shared responsibility for our planet is at the heart of my why. This has led to choosing social entrepreneurship, working on the transition to the doughnut economy. The doughnut economy feels like home to me. It is the world I want to live in. I have not encountered any other metaphor, framework or model that - to me - feels so complete. Within it everything I find important fits.
