Leipzig, Sachsen, Germany

I am interested in teaching and learning at the intersection of evolution, behavior, and sustainability science. Working through collaborations across scientific institutions, international non-profits, and local classrooms, our projects use human social behavior as a conceptual lens for interdisciplinary education. Scientific perspectives on the causes and consequences of our everyday experiences can be leveraged into deeper understandings of the challenges and solutions to sustainable development at every level of society.

Berlin, Germany

Industrial Engineer, Systems Thinker, Musician, Nature-loving Human. 🌻 Studying Economics and Renewable Energy Technologies I realized, the world's ecosystems and lots of human social institutions are hanging in the balance. The economy is already desperately out of balance. There are already technical as well as social innovations that offer solutions but it's the people who are not yet ready for the major changes we need to conduct as society. What we need is a mind shift and Doughnut Economics provides a strong communication tool. ⚖️ Creating a City Portrait of Berlin for my Master's thesis with Doughnut4Berlin. 📝

Milton Keynes, MK9 1LT, UK

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.

Leeds, UK

I'm Nathan, originally from Huddersfield but I've lived in Leeds for 7 years. My background in Doughnut Economics came through my MSc in Sustainable Cities at the University of Leeds, during which I worked with the brilliant Otley 2030 climate action group on the local-social lens of their doughnut portrait. Since graduating I have started a role at Space2, an arts and social change charity in East Leeds. Here I am incorporating the principles of the doughnut into policy writing, and exploring the possibilities of incorporating the doughnut into participatory arts and community work.
