Creative community engagement ideas (1 of 2)

To talk about the ideas of Doughnut Economics with people in your community, sometimes the last thing you need to do is talk about Doughnut Economics!

In fact, many community organisers from around the world, who are using Doughnut Economics in their work, have never actually shown people the Doughnut.

That’s not to say you shouldn’t (show people the Doughnut), but it just goes to show that there are lots of ways of having conversations based on the ideas of Doughnut Economics, that can spark action and positive change in our communities.

One of the key themes in community engagement is, for example, using plain language, rather than using complex and technical language (who wants to talk about Ocean Acidification!). And some people don’t use written language at all, preferring to use the languages of movement, dance, music, play and visual art to open up conversations.

If this sounds interesting to you and / or if you’re interested in bringing the ideas of Doughnut Economics to your community, then join us for this peer-to-peer exploration into creative community engagement ideas.

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.
