April DE Grassroots Global Connections (2 of 2)
Connecting as a global community of grassroots DE practitioners to nurture our individual and collective practice
This is one of our two April connection sessions for local community and network organisers, connectors, conveners and weavers around the world.
The sessions are 90 minutes, but you are welcome to join for an hour or whatever you can manage. And you are also welcome to join as a one-off and there is no commitment required.
In the connection sessions there is space to introduce yourself, ask questions, offer reflections and identify topics into which to dive deeper.
The connection sessions are an opportunity to meet inspiring grassroots practitioners of Doughnut Economics from around the world, and to find support, solidarity and community to help nurture our individual and collective practice.
If you would know more about the monthly connection sessions, or if you have any access requirements, please email Rob Shorter rob@doughnuteconomics.org.
If you are new to the monthly connection sessions, please use the zoom registration link at the top of this page to register and receive the zoom link to join.

Southside Chicago native with a passion for leveraging education, cross-cultural collaboration, and social innovation to enhance sustainable development on a local and global scale. Currently studying Global Wealth and Poverty part-time at the University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign (UIUC), while working full-time as a Senior ESG Analyst at Nasdaq on the Corporate ESG Strategy and Reporting team. During my studies at UIUC, I have gained sustainable development practitioner experience through participating in four international programs in three countries on the African continent. These programs included conducting research on gender-based violence at the University of Dar es Salaam in Tanzania in 2018, working as a micro-enterprise consultant in Cape Town, South Africa and Arusha, Tanzania in 2019, and spending a semester taking courses in International Development and Kiswahili at the University of Nairobi in Kenya in 2020. I take pride in continuing to leverage these bottom-up/local engagement experiences to inform potential macro-impact strategies in the private sector.

Can we start a Chicago DEAL coalition/group? Meet monthly or so? Can we unroll the Doughnut in Chicago? Work towards a Chicago Community Portrait of Place (DEAL tool) and/or Chicago Data Portrait of Place (DEAL tool)? Or, some other goals? Looking to connect with others interested in any of this. I've read Kate Raworth's Doughnut Economics book. I'm helping beta test a new board game, LIFE Reimagined -- includes storytelling and is based on Doughnut Economics. I'm a retired software engineer. Long-time volunteer with different environmental groups.
