MK Doughnut Economics Group invite the communities of MK to our weekly drop-ins to help us continue to 'unroll the Doughnut' in MK. In November 2023 we published a collection of Good news stories from Milton Keynes and the First Milton Keynes City Portrait.
Come and meet us face to face at the MK:U Innovation Hub, Bouverie House, 200 Silbury Blvd, Milton Keynes MK9 1LT, on arrival at reception, ask for Georgina.
What happens at a drop in?
If you are new to Doughnut Economics we explain this different way of thinking about and doing economics.
If you are already Doughnut-aware, we invite you to help us to construct a 'portrait' of MK using this new way of looking at the economy. Help us find a ring of equilibrium where we are no longer degrading the planet but we still support everyone to achieve a sustainable standard of life.
You can drop in for however long you have, even if it is only for a few minutes.
We invite you to bring your experience and knowledge to contribute to our exploration and portrait.
