Community indicators of living well (1 of 2)

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.
