In May 2025 we launched ChiDEC - Chicagoland Doughnut Economics Coalition, http://chidec.org.  Search DEAL for chidec to see our DEAL organization profile.  We are organized into four working groups: Data, Grassroots, Business, and Local Government.  Creating a Chicago Data Portrait is a top priority project for us.

Kraków, Lesser Poland Voivodeship, Poland

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. 

Lincolnshire

Hello, My name is Debbie I've been an Occupational Therapist for 25 years now & that helps me appreciate the complexities of our human systems of daily living, it also helps me to understand how our activities of daily living support & maintain these systems Three years ago I trained as the first Wayapa Wuurrk (Earth Connection) practitioner on our European soil  Wayapa has helped me in so many ways, it's reduced my eco anxiety, increased muscle strength & range of movement, balance & co-ordination but mostly it's connected me with a community of like minded people, you can visit https://wayapacom?aff=Debbie for more information Currently I'm leading on our Lincoln Global Doughnut Day 2025 with a focus on firm foundations, key collaborations & co-creation opportunities to bring Doughnut Economics Alive in Lincoln now & for the future

After 20+ years in corporate strategy consulting and the tech business, I progressively switched my mindset and practices to supporting organizations in their transformational journey towards eco-social-compatible models. 🍩🌍 I am very inspired by the Doughnut Economics concepts and theory and as an action-oriented person pushing for transformative change, I enjoy guiding organizations through their journey to embrace regenerative and distributive dynamics, thanks to the powerful tools developed by the DEAL. I am an experienced facilitator and trainer of several Fresks (playful, collaborative, and creative workshops that raises awareness on several environmental and social issues) such as The Climate Fresk, The Planetary Boundaries Fresk, The Regenerative Economy Fresk, The Agri-Food Fresk, The Digital Fresk …  I am engaged in several local initiatives around regenerative economy in my local area (French Riviera in South of France) to bring these concepts and theory into practice, via experimentation at community level.   I am delighted to join this rich and inspiring community to engage in meaningful conversations, learn from you and share insights and practices.     

Windsor, Ontario, Canada

I am a molecular biologist by training, and over time my scientific background naturally expanded into science communication, where I focus on making complex ideas accessible and engaging—especially through climate science presentations and STEMM talks for students in schools and colleges. Alongside science, I am deeply passionate about social justice and the belief that environmental issues cannot be separated from equity, access, and community wellbeing. What draws me to the DEAL community is its ability to bring ecological and social justice together under one umbrella, offering a thoughtful framework for imagining and building a more just, sustainable world. DEAL resonates with me because it aligns with both how I understand science and how I want to contribute to society—by educating, engaging, and empowering the next generation to care for people and the planet together.
