Doughnut Economics Action Lab (DEAL) welcomes you to join the second peer-learning space exploring ways to enable, connect and amplify a diverse community of practice in the field of Schools and Education around the world. The aim is to build on the energy, deepen and amplify the work of teachers, young people, administrators, curriculum designers, and all community members. Including both in/formal spaces - rural and urban - and to push for transformative action to bring DE into the classroom and beyond.
Join us for a one-hour session that will include:
- An overview of the inaugural peer-learning gathering session (28.05.25). Read the story here!
- A deep dive on sharing experiences, resources, and/or initiatives from peers working with Doughnut Economics learning tools. If you would like to share yours please email Carolina Escobar-Tello at carolina@doughnuteconomics.org
- Space to open up new pathways for collaboration (e.g. opportunities, learnings, and challenges)
This and future sessions will be shaped organically, reflecting the outcomes of participants’ conversations. The intention is to create an informal, but safe and trusting space for conversation, which can also support practitioners from around the world. With this in mind, the spirit of these peer learning spaces is that there's no single ‘expert’ and we're all here as learners. We will all have something to contribute, whether that be to listen, to reflect, to share your personal experience or to share some ideas. The content of each session will be evolving and adapting as we go!
Upon registration, you will receive an email confirmation. Please use the link in the email to add the event to your calendar. We may contact you with additional details and additional resources to start sharing examples, insights and questions. If at any stage you realise you can’t attend, please cancel your registration via the link in your confirmation email.
If you would like to know more about the session, or if you have any access requirements, please email Carolina Escobar-Tello at carolina@doughnuteconomics.org, Schools & Education Lead at DEAL, who will be facilitating this session.
Thank you for your interest in making part of this community to explore how to bring Doughnut Economics into Schools and Education spaces around the world – we look forward to learning with you!

I am an economics teacher teaching high school students. I would like to learn more games that I can play with students when they say they are tired and cannot process academic content.
