About the workshop
‘Step into the Donut’ is an open workshop designed to introduce participants to the ideas of 'Donut Economics' (Raworth, 2017). The Donut conceptualisation represents an ecologically safe and socially just space in which humanity can thrive in the 21st century. This activity will take place outdoors (weather permitting) and will offer participants a chance to listen and share ideas about the state of the planet and society and take some time to be grounded and reflect on the possibilities that a ‘Donut’ mindset provokes.
Afterwards, we invite the participants to collaborate on ideas for sustainability action in the local area.
Who is this workshop for?
This workshop is for anyone who would like to get to know others in the local community. No previous knowledge of Donut economics is required.
Shared Impact
By taking part in the 'Step into the Donut' activity, participants are supporting TU Dublin's Strategic Intent to 2030 under the pillars of
- People (fostering individual talents in an ever-changing world),
- Planet (a powerhouse for living & breathing sustainability),
- and Partnership (delivering shared impact).
Involvement in a Step into the Donut workshop, not only helps you understand our planetary boundaries but it creates a space to discuss local sustainability actions with like minded people; this supports many of the United Nations (UN) Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), in particular SDG 4: Quality Education, SDG 8: Decent Work and Economic Growth, SDG 11: Sustainable Cities and Communities, and SDG 17: Partnerships for the Goals.
