Please Note: This event has now finished and can no longer be joined.
We're incredibly excited to announce a pioneering Trainer of Trainers (ToT) workshop for the ๐ฌ๐ผ๐๐๐ต ๐ผ๐ณ ๐ก๐ด๐ผ๐ป๐ด ๐ฅ๐ผ๐ฎ๐ฑ ๐๐ผ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐๐! On September 13th, '25, we're diving deep into Doughnut Economics, not just as a framework, but as a powerful tool for "๐๐ฏ๐ต๐ช-๐๐ณ๐ช๐ฆ๐ง ๐๐ค๐ต๐ช๐ท๐ช๐ด๐ฎ."
Inspired by the concept of challenging the "๐ฅ๐ฆ๐ฆ๐ฑ ๐ค๐ฐ๐ฅ๐ฆ๐ด" that drive our current "๐ช๐ฏ๐ฉ๐ข๐ณ๐ฎ๐ฐ๐ฏ๐ช๐ค ๐ณ๐ฆ๐ข๐ญ๐ช๐ต๐บ," these young leaders will learn to:
โข ๐๐ถ๐ฎ๐ด๐ป๐ผ๐๐ฒ "๐๐ฒ๐ฒ๐ฝ ๐๐ผ๐ฑ๐ฒ๐": Uncover the invisible rules (like "Land as a Commodity") that currently threaten Ngong Forest (e.g., through railway lines, stadium allocations, uncontrolled dumping).
โข "๐ฅ๐ฒ๐ฐ๐ผ๐ฑ๐ฒ" ๐ฉ๐ฎ๐น๐๐ฒ: Transform seemingly worthless "waste" into valuable resources, fostering "life-ennobling design" and green economies.
โข ๐ก๐ฎ๐๐ถ๐ด๐ฎ๐๐ฒ ๐ง๐ถ๐ฝ๐ฝ๐ถ๐ป๐ด ๐ฃ๐ผ๐ถ๐ป๐๐: Identify critical moments of change in Ngong's ecosystem and community, and develop "๐๐ฏ๐ต๐ช-๐๐ณ๐ช๐ฆ๐ง ๐ข๐ค๐ต๐ช๐ฐ๐ฏ๐ด" to steer towards powerful, positive transformations.
โข ๐๐ผ๐ป๐ป๐ฒ๐ฐ๐ "๐๐ฑ๐ด๐ฒ๐": Find integrated solutions where social needs meet ecological health, creating ripple effects for a truly regenerative Ngong.
This isn't just theory; it's about empowering Ngong's youth to become ๐๐ฏ๐ต๐ช-๐๐ณ๐ช๐ฆ๐ง ๐๐ต๐ฆ๐ธ๐ข๐ณ๐ฅ๐ด โ leading the charge to "๐ณ๐ฆ๐ธ๐ณ๐ช๐ต๐ฆ ๐ต๐ฉ๐ฆ ๐ฃ๐ณ๐ช๐ฆ๐ง" for their forest and community. They'll gain practical facilitation skills to inspire others, preparing for impactful engagement during Global Doughnut Day!
We believe in the power of youth to drive systemic change and create a future where cities and forests can genuinely thrive.

I am a sustainable development planner, trained as an architect and in human settlement planning issues. I lead the policy studies and development action initiatives at the Development Alternatives Group. My work over three decades has focused on sustainable housing and habitat in human settlements, community based approaches to climate and disaster resilience and support to national, sub-national and local government governments in mainstreaming integrated planning for achieving Agenda 2030 and the Paris Agreement in India. My current work in habitat planning now increasingly addresses the concern of Sustainable Consumption and Production (SCP) systems through resource efficiency, circular economy and equity concerns in resource access. My research interest and expertise lies in the area of resource efficient and people-nature centric development planning. Using social and ecological systems approaches for resilience building in human settlements.
