May DE Grassroots Global Connections (1 of 2)
Connecting as a global community of grassroots DE practitioners, plus a GDD 2026 briefing
External registration / video call link
Your are warmly invited to the May global connection sessions for local community and network organisers / connectors / conveners / weavers around the world.
The first half hour of this month's session will have a special GDD briefing to support your organising towards GDD 2026. You are welcome to join after this if you are not interested in GDD.
This is the first of two sessions (to allow people to join from different time zones).
You can view the other session here.
The sessions are an opportunity to meet fellow grassroots practitioners of Doughnut Economics from around the world, and to find support, solidarity and community to help nurture our individual and collective practice.
The session is 90 minutes. You are welcome to join for an hour or whatever you can manage. And you are welcome to join as a one-off. There is no commitment required.
In the session there will be space to introduce yourself, your work or intentions with Doughnut Economics, to ask questions, offer reflections and identify topics into which to dive deeper.
Register via the link at the top of the page. And if you have any access requirements, please email Rob Shorter rob@doughnuteconomics.org.

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.

Founder of The Shady Lanes Project and member of Regen Brisbane When I started my verge garden, my reason was simple. I was fed up with mowing it. Back then, I had no idea where it would lead me. Now I think verge gardens could be the key to saving us from the worst of climate change and biodiversity loss. Big claim for unimportant little bits of land, you might say. Come on the journey and see if you change your mind. The Shady Lanes Project is about a lot more than us all planting out our little patches. It’s about bringing diverse people together to learn how to collaborate by doing. It’s about changing the way we see nature. It’s about eco-systems thinking. Most of all, it’s about learning by doing the doable - and making what’s doable grow. [ShadyLanes_verge_eastward.jpg] [ ] Find out more: Website - Substack and newsletter
