Overview

Communities: Let's Get Started is a collection of tools & stories to apply the ideas of Doughnut Economics to your community, whether at the household, street or neighbourhood scale or connecting as networks for systemic change at the city, region or national scale.

The tool contains over 25 tools and 20 stories - with contributions from people, groups, networks and organisations from around the world - to help you get started with your community in your own unique context.

Who is it for?

We believe this tool could be for anyone, whether you're interested in:

learning more about the ideas by yourself or with others;
introducing the ideas to others in your household, street or neighbourhood and exploring their implications together; or
connecting with others at the city, region or national scale to work towards the deeper systemic shifts that are needed.

How long does it take?

It could take just 5 or 10 minutes to flick through some of the possibilities in the tool, but if you want to go deeper, you can set aside an hour or two to read some of the tools and stories contained within Communities: Let's Get Started.

Some of the tools contained here are processes that you can start now but are several months or years long.

Use it as a signpost for things you might want to do straight away, do in future or share with others.
