“How can our city be a home to thriving people, in a thriving place, whilst respecting the wellbeing of all people, and the health of the whole planet?” – Doughnut Economics
Join us for a snapshot of 21st century Doughnut Economics insights, exploring the economic mindset proposed by Kate Raworth and a cross-sector collaborative vision for Bath.
From the Repair Café movement to ‘rainproofing’ urban areas, we’ll take active inspiration from Amsterdam, the first city to formally embrace the Doughnut as a strategy for economic development, as a springboard for ideas and conversation.
Location: 16-18 Queen Square, Bath BA1 2HN
Tickets: £3.00 – £6.00

Carra Santos
Bath, BANES, UK.
With over 15 years of experience at the intersection of creativity, innovation, sustainable development, and social/behavioural insight, I help people and organisations navigate seemingly disconnected perspectives, disciplines and contexts, while nurturing shared understanding, trust and alignment - strengthening how they communicate, collaborate and build. I began exploring Doughnut Economics around 2017, attending events from 2019, and becoming a DEAL community member on its launch in 2020. My interest in economics increased during my 2021 'Sustainable Development in Practice' Masters dissertation on narrative framing and communication of degrowth practices to UK business leaders, which examined the difference between degrowth, growth-agnostic and growth-led perspectives. I started the Doughnut Economics group in Bath, UK in 2022 which evolved into Collaborative Bath in 2024, which I ran in until May 2025. I continue to support it ad hoc, and a number of councils, universities and enterprises with local outreach and engagement. Email me or join me on LinkedIn.
