When Business Meets the Doughnut

In March 2024, we piloted our first Doughnut Economics Workshop. Here’s a taster of how we did it &what we learnt.

An award-like tour trough our region Achterhoek, the Eastern part of The Netherlands

Last months in Bogotá we have been doing events with citizens and schools to put the doughnut teachings into practice.

City of London, England, United Kingdom

I am Gena; have lived in lots of places and am currently in London. I identify myself as a platonist and my focus is to dedicate my energy to "the true", "the good" and "the beautiful". Understanding the nature of reality and helping perpetuate the above triad with every decision I take can be undeniably challenging. Often intent guides actions, and I used to think that constant and conscious alignment with the intent is bound to derive the desired manifestation. However, our world is complex, and often the right intent isn't sufficient - our actions, although well intended, have unintended consequences and externalities, and the incentives society, business and culture project upon us often derive undesired results. This realisation has recently guided me towards learning more about systems thinking, complexity science, sustainability, circular economy and also to joining this community.
