Bath City Doughnut Learning Session: Amsterdam Inspiration - Take Two! (Past)
A re-do of our Amsterdam Inspiration session, due to our influx of new members and introductions last time!
Please Note: This event has now finished and can no longer be joined.
Thanks to a merry influx of new members last session, we got carried away with introductions and conversations and managed a mere five minutes on the scheduled topic.
But introductions and conversations are important too! They build relationships and common ground. So, no matter, let them flow, I thought - and plan a re-do, instead.
Amsterdam Inspiration - Take Two will explore how the flagship city answers the four core questions:
• What would it mean for the people of Amsterdam to thrive?
• What would it mean for Amsterdam to thrive within its natural habitat?
• What would it mean for Amsterdam to respect the wellbeing of people worldwide?
• What would it mean for Amsterdam to respect the health of the whole planet?
We'll learn from this city of active inspiration, consider how we can respond to the same questions here, and pool our insights into the various groups already on the case.
If you're in Bath and would like to join us, please join the Bath LinkedIn Group: https://lnkd.in/ewGR5C6g and register for the event. If you're not on LinkedIn, just email Carra Santos at studio@carrasantos.com instead.

I'm an established and creative sustainability professional, equipping visionary leaders, educators and advisors with knowledge and navigation tools to step into their sustainable futures roles, through education, strategy and communication. Over 20+ years, my career in creativity, design and communication has evolved from internationally-acclaimed product innovation and future concepts for world-class events, to creative thinking skills for visionary leadership. My approach is influenced by my career origins in multidisciplinary concept generation and development - tapping into food, fashion, interiors, furniture, exhibition, spatial and urban design - and my personal passion, which is exploring how transformative habits, attitudes, practices, behaviours and relationships can be facilitated by forward-thinking design and communication. I began exploring Doughnut Economics around 2017, attending events from 2019, and becoming a DEAL community member on its launch in 2020. My interest in economics increased during my 2021 'Sustainable Development in Practice' Masters dissertation on narrative framing and communication of sustainability practices to UK business leaders, which touched on the difference between degrowth, growth-agnostic and growth-led perspectives. I started the Doughnut Economics group in Bath, UK in 2022, and and continue to support it and a number of councils, universities and enterprises with local outreach and engagement.

I am retired from paid employment, having had a number of careers in data analytics, then management consultancy, then a variety of leadership roles in UK-based charities. I've had a number of formal and informal roles working with charities and other for-benefit initiatives. Most notably having chaired three charities, and setting up Innovira to become a catalyst for developing and sharing good ideas and practices - though it is early days for this. I've lived in Bath, in the South West of England, for over 30 years, and now try to use my experience and time to support activists and thinkers who are trying to make a difference locally. The Doughnut model captures what I've thought intuitively for decades, and will hopefully be an effective model to help good decision making, and get stuff done.
