We invite you to join us for a workshop on sustainability in schools and kindergartens, where your experiences and ours can be connected through the holistic Doughnut Model, and together create something greater.
We’ll be gathering at the Deichman Library in Oslo on Thursday, November 7, from 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM.
The workshop hosts have extensive experience with development work in schools and kindergartens, focusing particularly on social sustainability. We also work with Doughnut Economics as a holistic approach to sustainability in society, and will explore how the "Doughnut Model for Children" can be used by both staff and students to understand connections and make a positive impact on nature, society, and the relationships between people and the environment. A holistic approach means finding pedagogical paths that unite theory and practice, which can significantly enhance motivation, academic learning, and well-being in schools.
During the workshop, we will:
- Get to know each other and explore the valuable resources and experiences we all bring to this work.
- Share our experiences with using the Doughnut Model in sustainability efforts in schools, and discuss what we’ve learned so far.
- Explore how we can connect knowledge, positive experiences, and exciting tools to build a systematic and holistic sustainability approach in kindergartens and schools. We’ll also discuss how we can support each other in this important work.
Whether you're a teacher, preschool teacher, engaged parent, or grandparent eager to get involved, we hope to see you there!

Ellen Sjong, teacher with a master’s in pedagogy.
