I’m a retired IT project manager, but still curious about the world. I came across Doughnut Economics in the MyGreenPod newspaper I picked up in Sainsburys and was immediately captivated.  It’s motives are unarguable, but can and how can this radical idea be turned into an effective reality? I know it can, I’m intrigued to find out more and willing to do what I can.

 i am an arts curator - semi-retired - living within a small community on the Suffolk/Norfolk borders. My main outlet is curating/organising a gallery space within the local arts community space here in Bungay - the Fisher Theatre. It is a thriving visual arts community with many excellent arts professionals living and working within a 10 mile radius of the town (pop: 5000 plus a further 5000  within 5 miles ie in satellite villages. It is a place with a quite remarkably strong and well-developed sense of community support, as I have found out this year at a personal level, following the death of my artist-wife, Jilly Szaybo in the spring.  There is a strong Green community here and i would like to make sure they know about  your work also.  I am also a Trustee of an  arts trust set up by the late Evelyn Williams (d2012) whose work was profoundly concerned with human relations and the human condition and we aim to do work to help younger artists with similar aims develop their work and reach wider audiences.

Veel ondernemers en bestuurders worstelen met vragen rondom de transitie naar nieuwe verdienmodellen. De noodzaak hiertoe wordt onderkend, maar hoe begin je en wat ga je tegenkomen… Als koploper duurzaam ondernemen ken ik de uitdagingen van een transitie naar nieuwe houdbare verdienmodellen als geen ander. Ik doorloop met mijn bedrijf een dergelijk traject en weet waar de uitdagingen en vooral waar de kansen liggen. Via allerlei netwerken sta ik in contact met onderwijs, wetenschap en andere duurzame ondernemers. Hierdoor ben ik in staat als “transitiegids” organisaties snel op weg te helpen om daarmee de continuïteit voor de organisatie zeker te stellen. De Donut is voor mij een prachtig principe om mee te werken, want het is: • Schaalbaar (lokaal / globaal toepasbaar) • Een communicatie middel (simpel, integraal, verbindend) • Meetmethode en Kompas / Doel • Integratie middel Naast natuurlijk inspirerend. Daarom haalde ik Kate Raworth, samen met anderen, in 2018 ook naar Noord nederland. Zie Ontmoet Kate Raworth live! 'Kate komt naar het Noorden.' Kate Raworth - 18 juni - DNK Assen - YouTube Ik heb inmiddels veel practische ervaring met het toepassen van de Donut in de praktijk. Schakel mij dus in als je wilt versnellen.
