I'm Sunkyung HAN, and I'm the co-initiator of Donut-Zip, a group focused on bringing doughnut economics to life in South Korea. Through Donut-Zip, I want to help organizations and communities adopt these principles to drive sustainable change. As the CEO of C., a social innovation catalyst organization, I’ve become passionate about fundamental transformations and have been working to introduce doughnut economics as part of a broader vision for systemic change. With more than 15 years of experience connecting people and organizations in social innovation, I founded C. in 2014 to create sensemaking platforms that link up social innovators across Asia. Beyond C., I’ve been an advisor on social innovation committees with the Seoul Metropolitan Government, a Korean advisor for AVPN, and a board member for YouthVoice, a nonprofit that helps young people express themselves through social media.

Kraków, Lesser Poland Voivodeship, Poland

I am a certified teacher of philosophy and ethics, who never worked in a school because couldn’t fit into the system. Since 2018 I manage Nausika Educational Foundation in Kraków (Poland) and spend my life designing game-based educational programs and teaching others how to implement games for a positive social impact. I believe that truly innovative game mechanics can reshape the thinking about the world. My values and fields of action include sustainability competences (Green Comp framework), social and planetary justice (Doughnut Economics models) and role-playing techniques to empower personal development and understand cultural heritage. I have acted as trainer and facilitator at over 40 Erasmus+ Training Courses and Youth Exchanges, applied for and coordinated over 12 international EU projects, designed and mentored the creation and publication of over 24 educational games.

Stockholm, Sweden

I sometimes say that I'm not an urban planner interested in sustainability but rather a sustainability nerd who chose urban planning as field of work in order to get as far as possible towards sustainability.  I learned about the doughnut when studying in London in 2015, tried to use it as framework in various urban planning projects in Sweden the years following that. Now trying again, love to see that the community has grown so much!  Hoping to learn to internalise the 7 ways in what I do. I might contribute with knowledge and know-how of urban planning, project management and workshop facilitation.
