Please Note: This event has now finished and can no longer be joined.
On International Women's Day 2023 the theme is #EmbraceEquity. We will look through the lens of doughnut economics at women’s health to help us connect stories and data - the good news stories and the inequities.
Milton Keynes DE Group is working towards a thriving place for everyone within the limits of the planet.
We are working to produce a City Portrait with partners from all sectors including Council, Public Health, Businesses, Community Groups and the Voluntary Sector.
Bring your stories about women's health: what is working well or what you are doing to improve health outcomes for women.
What will happen at this event?
This is a drop-in event, and you can drop in for however long you have, even if it is only for a few minutes. You can look through our library of resources which include materials produced by other groups who have been facilitating discussions about Doughnut Economics in their communities.

I am a software engineer and consultant living in Milton Keynes with my husband and family. I am very concerned and sometimes find it overwhelming of where to start with the problems we are creating on the planet and the lack of equality and understanding of equity in the world. I am passionate about helping others learn technology skills. I am a professional and qualified ICT Trainer, Teacher, Coach, and Mentor. I am a member of the Milton Keynes Doughnut Economics Network where we are holding weekly dropin sessions to learn about doughnut economics together, learn about data skills, connect with the community to build a city portrait and network to solve planetary and society problems together. I believe we are living in a friendly universe.
