Schools & Education Doughnut Economics peer-learning gatherings.

(This session is being held twice, one delivered in English, and the other delivered in Spanish. Please use this Zoom link to register for the session in English and use this Zoom link to register for the session in Spanish)

Doughnut Economics Action Lab (DEAL) welcomes you to join the first 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, and to push for transformative action to bring DE into the classroom and beyond.

Join us for a one-hour session that will include:

• A brief introduction to the Schools and Education theme (e.g. theme goals, recent tools launched, how to get started with them, what we are working on, etc).
• Provide a space for participants to meet and share needs, learnings, how they are using the Doughnut Economics foundational learning tools (e.g. Hello Doughnut!, Preparing to Teach, Dimensions of the Doughnut v.2), and DE-related work (e.g. initiatives, projects, events).
• Planning next steps to nurture the Schools and Education community (e.g. key needs; inviting guest speakers in the theme; exploring communication channels for the community; etc).

This session will be an initial offering to scope how DEAL may best support practitioners in the schools and education space. Future sessions will be shaped organically, reflecting the outcomes of this initial conversation. 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.
