Since launch, more than
7000 people from all around the world have joined the DEAL Community. Together we have crafted and shared more than 70 open-access
tools and 100
stories, and attended more than 130 events.
The most popular tools and stories so far
Our most used tool was
‘Creating City Portraits’ — an extensive methodological guide for downscaling the Doughnut to the city and turning it into a tool for transformative action. (An updated version of which is currently
in the works, co-created with the community).
What’s next for the DEAL Community Platform?
The DEAL Community Platform was, and is, an experiment in co-creation. We have continued to learn, adapt and evolve with the help of the DEAL Community and we often share our ongoing reflections and learnings in the monthly
DEAL Newsletter.
For example, back in our very
first issue, we highlighted some key community feedback - around connecting with other members, keeping track of new activity, and more - which went on to directly feed into a
range of new features that we released in June of this year.
Back in March we also launched the
Platform Development Hub, a space for the whole community to feed back directly on the platform itself and suggest improvements and new features to help empower everyone to put the ideas of Doughnut Economics into practice.
Thank you for all of your contributions to the DEAL Community so far — here’s to another great year!
