Lima, Peru

Hi everyone, I’m Jennifer, from Peru. I live in Lima now, but my roots are in the region of Pasco, in a small town called Pozuzo. My background is in Economic Engineering and Business. I first heard about the Donut model back in university, one of my professors mentioned it, and even though it was just a small reading, it really stayed with me. I felt connected because since I was little, I’ve always believed that humanity can grow and progress while respecting our planet. For me, that has always felt like the smarter and more conscious way to live. What excites me about the Donut is that it feels like a beginning, a step toward a bigger future. I imagine a time when the main incentive for us as humans is not profit, but self-realization, both individually and together as a society. In that sense, I see the Donut as an initiation, opening the door to that larger vision of human evolution. It’s truly a pleasure to be part of this community, a real movement. I also believe in developing green smart cities, and that AI can contribute to this new era of humanity while respecting our environment. I would like to learn and to share with all of you guys.

Goa, India

Hello there: I have been following the studies of Doughnut Economics, especially THE AMSTERDAM CITY PROJECT.  The drive to find a balance between social and business intrigues me.  And I believe change can only happen from school-level learning. We (unirisefoundation.org) are a non-profit organization based out of Goa, India where we are hoping to save the biodiversity and culture that Goa is known for through learning in schools, focused on children with disabilities. We want to give the children the opportunity to ask questions that will require responses until they are convinced for their lies the gap between destruction and saving Goa (and India and the world). So, it is a big DEAL for WE MATTER and together WE CAN make a difference. Cheers, Titus

Oxfordshire, England, United Kingdom

Hi, I've have recently completed my MSc Ecological Economics in Leeds. Since then I have been the Oxfordshire Doughnut Project Data Lead across the Four Lenses for the Preliminary Data Portrait:  • Global Ecological Lens: based on planetary boundaries model, downscaling data to county or regional levels and applying and improving on best practice methodologies. • Global Social: designed a data methodology applying material footprinting data to Global Social dimensions (aligned with Sustainable Development Goals) to build a coherent narrative around local consumption and global social impact. • Local Social and Ecological: supervising and producing calculations across all dimensions and their visualisations. Looking forward to see where this doughnut goes and what opportunities for engagement arise from it! 

Camarillo, California, United States

Thomas Arnett is working to transform industrial-style schooling as a senior research fellow at the Clayton Christensen Institute. He started his career as a teacher in Kansas City, where he experienced firsthand the frustration of working within a one-size-fits-all approach to education that neglects students’ widely-varying academic and emotional needs. He then joined the Christensen Institute after seeing how Clayton Christensen’s work offered not only a new vision for K–12 education but a comprehensive theory for bringing that vision mainstream. Over the last decade, Arnett’s work has expanded on Christensen’s insights by identifying the enabling conditions to disrupt conventional education and the circumstances that motivate education stakeholders to choose new models of schooling.
