A marketplace of workshops for a thriving future
Please Note: This event has now finished and can no longer be joined.
Join the Leeds Doughnut Coalition for a week of learning, connection and collaboration as we explore the principles of Doughnut Economics as part of Global Donut Days 2025. We will be screening a selection of online DEAL events and other content at Imagine Leeds (9 Blenheim Terrace) with space for open discussion afterwards. This is a great opportunity to explore new ways of thinking about our economy and connect with a broad community of change-makers.
Come and go as you please - all you need to bring is your curiosity!
The week will culminate in our Many Yeses Day on Friday 17th, a vibrant, drop-in marketplace for local projects and organisations dedicated to creating a more regenerative and redistributive economy. Whether you're an expert or just curious, you'll find a mix of free activities, games and workshops designed to inspire and connect.
