#GlobalDonutDay in Milton Keynes
Our GDD event attracted members of the public, community volunteers, council officers, business leaders and others.
Posted by Milton Keynes Doughnut Economics Group
Milton Keynes Doughnut Economics Group has a vision of a thriving, safe MK for everyone. We are creating an MK city portrait as a vital tool in making this vision a reality and we are challenging the complex issues that threaten our survival.
The doughnut model provides a safe space or sweet spot for all our economic activity, which will keep us within planetary boundaries and meet people’s needs. This is a different way of doing economics. It shows us how we can meet the needs of all within the means of the planet.
Our work is based on increasing participation and contribution to the solutions we need and challenging top-down thinking wherever we meet it, and we are working to generate this at neighbourhood, local council and city levels.
We meet weekly in person.

I grew up in countries where the sense of community was very strong and everyone knew they were a part of a bigger system. The economic and infrastructural system that the world has come to know does not fit with many mindsets around the world and I am excited to see how the doughnut can change this. Currently based in Milton Keynes, I am doing my PhD in Soil Science at Cranfield University and am always looking to have a chat with people about their personal connections to the soil and how they think we can return to valuing the world's most important resource! I am an ecologist at heart, and love to celebrate the diversity of the world!

I am a software engineer and consultant living in Milton Keynes with my husband and family. I am very concerned and sometimes find it overwhelming of where to start with the problems we are creating on the planet and the lack of equality and understanding of equity in the world. I am passionate about helping others learn technology skills. I am a professional and qualified ICT Trainer, Teacher, Coach, and Mentor. I am a member of the Milton Keynes Doughnut Economics Network where we are holding weekly dropin sessions to learn about doughnut economics together, learn about data skills, connect with the community to build a city portrait and network to solve planetary and society problems together. I believe we are living in a friendly universe.

I'm part of the Milton Keynes Doughnut Economics development group (a part of https://www.transitiontownmk.org/), we meet in person every Wednesday morning to develop our first draft MK Doughnut city portrait and build our local networks. The resources on the DEAL website here have proven invaluable, particularly the local city portraits.
