A set of videos and slides for changemakers to use & adapt when presenting Doughnut Economics concepts and practice.
Version 1.0 (updated July 2026)
Overview
The DEAL Team has created this tool to support changemakers who are facilitating events or sessions engaging with Doughnut Economics by providing a set of resources (videos and presentation slides) that can be used to introduce the core concepts and evolving practice.
We invite changemakers to adapt and/or combine the slides from the presentations included below to support your own presentations in different situations - in classrooms, boardrooms, community centres, city halls, and more. Similarly, we envision the videos being used for learning purposes, in full or in part, or played directly as a part of workshops and events.
The videos and slides listed below cover the core concepts of Doughnut Economics and the evolving practice and tools across different thematic areas, in cities, communities, business, research and education. Some of the slides linked below are also available in Spanish, French, German and Brazilian Portuguese.
We do hope these resources prove useful for your initiatives - please do share comments, suggestions, and learnings so that we can make them better in future iterations.

Link to Doughnut Economics for University Courses page These teaching materials are the result of a collaboration between Doughnut Economics Action Lab and Rethinking Economics International and are primarily designed for use by any university lecturer, teacher or educator wishing to bring the concepts and perspectives set out in Doughnut Economics into their own university teaching. The sections are structured around the 'seven ways to think like a 21st century economist'. Each of the 'ways to think' consists of a deck of slides, accompanied by an extensive set of web-based resources: readings, videos, podcasts and activities.

Acknowledgements
This tool was designed and co-created with contributions from Aimee Laurel, Andrew Fanning, Erinch Sahan, Carolina Escobar-Tello, Kate Raworth, Leonora Grcheva, and Rob Shorter from the DEAL Team, with a special thanks to Aimee for the video editing/support.
Excellent work! This is a great starting point to give an overview and inspire further learning.
There seems to be some editing that could be improved at the end of "Core concepts of Doughnut Economics" video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cvh7p6IehSo
Make some cuts at approximately the timestamps 24:40 and 25:40.
There could also be a call to action added at the end to for example visit https://doughnuteconomics.org
