Exeter Doughnut Economics Gathering (Past)
Join others from Exeter and beyond to explore how DE is transforming people and places, and what it could mean for you.
Please Note: This event has now finished and can no longer be joined.
Join us in Exeter for a collaborative event open to all!
Hosted by the Exeter Doughnut group over two days, and across a variety of central locations, the Exeter Doughnut Economics Gathering will bring together individuals, communities, businesses, local governments, and more.
Supported by DEAL, the Doughnut Economics Action Lab, we will share stories and ideas, explore opportunities and frustrations, and learn from each other as we discover more about the transformative potential of the Doughnut Economics model.
What to expect
The full programme is below, including participatory workshops, facilitated discussions, plenty of time to connect with others, and a keynote talk from Kate Raworth to close the event.
We are coming together with the idea that it's only in the hands of practitioners that we can really learn what Doughnut Economics can do. We want to speak to what we don't know, to help build momentum for transformation, and to focus on people, places, and possibility.
Who it's for
This is for everyone, but we anticipate that we will have a mix of:
- The Advocates - existing practitioners of Doughnut Economics
- The Curious - those who have heard about the idea, but want to discover more
- The Unfamiliar - some will never have heard about Doughnut Economics before, and that's absolutely fine!
We're coming together to talk about positive change, using the Doughnut as a shared language that we can play with together.

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.
