Global Donut Days 2025 marked an important moment of maturation for Donut Brasil. More than celebrating an idea, the events demonstrated how the Doughnut is being taken up, adapted and put into practice across very different contexts  - from schools to universities, from community territories to the impact ecosystem, from youth groups to local leadership.

In 2025, Global Donut Days mobilised 25 countries, 45 cities and more than 90 events worldwide, highlighting the growing strength of an international network committed to building economies that respect planetary boundaries and ensure dignified living conditions for all. In Brazil, this mobilisation took shape through 11 events held in 5 cities, directly engaging 366 people in processes of learning, listening, experimentation and network-building.

Each city brought its own expression of the Doughnut, grounded in its local challenges, knowledge and strengths.

In Rio de Janeiro, young people from different territories occupied the Museum of Tomorrow to discuss climate, inequalities and possible futures, affirming youth leadership as a driving force for transformation.

In parallel, the Movimento dos Movimentos promoted a forward-looking gathering of leaders from well-established social movements, creating a strategic space for articulation, exchange of experiences and the collective construction of shared pathways.

In Florianópolis, children and educators experienced the Doughnut as an accessible language for thinking about the common good from early childhood. 

In Brasília, women entrepreneurs, impact-driven businesses and innovation networks explored the Doughnut as a practical tool for rethinking purpose, governance and collaboration.

In Salvador, dialogue with quilombola leaders and community collectives from the Cabula territory reinforced the importance of ancestry, trust and building processes at the pace of the territory.

In Curitiba, the university environment and social movements came together to connect academic knowledge, empathy and collective action.

More than isolated events, Global Donut Days 2025 in Brazil functioned as living laboratories, in which the Doughnut was tested as a pedagogical lens, a dialogue tool and a mechanism for connecting people, organisations and territories. The learnings that emerged from these experiences point to the central importance of deep listening, contextualised education, strategic communication and, above all, continuity — understood as the need to transform one-off encounters into long-term journeys.
