Community indicators of living well (1 of 2)
A peer-to-peer session on how we might identify and create community indicators of living well
What does it mean to you to live well?
If we look at the Doughnut, we can see that the Social Foundation is made up of 12 dimensions. These dimensions, such as food, housing, education, are taken from the socially-focused goals from the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). These are goals that all the world’s governments agreed to, meaning that everyone has a claim to meeting them.
This is really helpful for seeing a global picture of wellbeing, but what about understanding wellbeing at the local level - in your street, your neighbourhood, your town or city?
At the local level there are lots of things that will be particularly - and sometimes uniquely - important to us when we think about what it means to live well. So how might we identify the indicators that will help us see and possibly even measure how well we’re doing on these things, and how we might go about improving them.
If this sounds of interest to you then join us for this peer-to-peer exploration into how we might identify and create community indicators of living well.
There will be space to share approaches we’re aware of, as well as any insights we’ve gathered, and questions that are most alive for us.
This is one of two sessions. Please use the link above to register and you'll receive a zoom link to join.
If you would know more about the session, or if you have any access requirements, please email Rob Shorter rob@doughnuteconomics.org, Communities & Art Lead at DEAL, who will be facilitating.

Founder of The Shady Lanes Project and member of Regen Brisbane When I started my verge garden, my reason was simple. I was fed up with mowing it. Back then, I had no idea where it would lead me. Now I think verge gardens could be the key to saving us from the worst of climate change and biodiversity loss. Big claim for unimportant little bits of land, you might say. Come on the journey and see if you change your mind. The Shady Lanes Project is about a lot more than us all planting out our little patches. It’s about bringing diverse people together to learn how to collaborate by doing. It’s about changing the way we see nature. It’s about eco-systems thinking. Most of all, it’s about learning by doing the doable - and making what’s doable grow. [ShadyLanes_verge_eastward.jpg] [ ] Find out more: Website - Substack and newsletter

Researcher and lecturer in humanities and social sciences. My PhD thesis rescued the notion of tourism as a human experience (beyond the idea of "industry"). From there I am developing a work line focusing on decoupling tourism from overcommercialization and predatory practices, personal transformation and well-being, More broadly, I work on the wellbeing economy and lifestyles for a meaningful life - for humands and beyond. I practice regenerative cultures and participate in circles from a care-taking perspective.
