Spanning time zones from Aotearoa / New Zealand to the West Coast of the Americas, the online day contained a mix of keynote talks, panel events and connection spaces on key topics including community organising, business design, government policy design, educational materials, artistic methods, value systems, marginalisation and climate justice.

There were presentations and workshops from community organisers as well as live ‘Local Spotlights’ where we heard from people calling in from around the world to talk about their local action on Doughnut Economics.
