Communities & Art

Welcome to DEAL’s communities page. Here you’ll find lots of stories of people around the world applying the ideas of Doughnut Economics in their lives and communities - from the household, to the street, to the neighbourhood scale - and people connecting with others at the city and regional scale to form groups and networks for change.

Some people feel intimidated by the term ‘economics’ but not many are intimidated by Doughnuts! As such, we’ve found the Doughnut can act as a welcoming entry point for conversations about the economy and an invitation for everyone to be a part in reimagining an economy that meets the needs of all within the means of the living planet.

So we invite you to take a look around, read some stories and browse the tools to explore the ideas further and introduce them to others in your community in inviting, playful and accessible ways.
