Record a Local Spotlight


The central theme of Global Donut Days 2024 is local action, global connection. Through this, we can build a sense that we are all part of a wider story of change. A story that says a different future is possible and it’s popping up everywhere.


To help do this, we’re inviting you to talk about your local action with Doughnut Economics. We're calling these Local Spotlights.
