Wednesday Drop-ins with MK Doughnut Economics Group: In person (Past)

Milton Keynes, England, United Kingdom

I am and ex University Administrator, now spending my time on activism in local communities in Milton Keynes to tackle the Climate Crisis, Misogyny and Gender Inequality.   I am a core member of the MK Doughnut Economics Group which operates under the umbrella of Transition Town MK. Our group are part of a fledgling Milton Keynes Climate Action Network (MKCAN).  I am a member of the Women's Equality Party (WEPUK) - the first political party to adopt Doughnut Economics as policy.  I am also a member of FawcettMK, Citizens:mk and Cycling Citizens MK.   I would like to see the Doughnut applied to my Borough and am a member of Milton Keynes DECA (Doughnut Economics Climate Action) Group.

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.

I'm an Architect, passionate about community and context, I practice at the intersection of architecture and social enterprise. I believe design is a tool for a positive impact on our lives. I really enjoy helping others bring their visions into reality by leveraging the strategic design and social innovation.  In the last years, I had the pleasure to team up with IaaC Institute, FabLab in Barcelona, Perugia and Utara University in Italy and Malaysia, and Impact Hub Kuala Lumpur on urban regenerative projects. I coordinated projects promoted by social enterprises and NG0s with a bottom-up approach, being supported by international Organizations like Lega Coop Umbria, CARITAS Italy, PEFC Italy, Leroy Merlin s.r.l., and innovative finance organizations like BANCA ETICA, and BCC Bank. I have been awarded projects that promote education, sustainability, urban renovation, and socio-economic renaissance. I have over 15 years of experience in the built environment industry as an architect, project manager, urban planner, interior designer, researcher, and practitioner across several architecture sectors.  I have collaborated with international Design firms for a long time on large urban developments in Italy, the Philippines, Turkey, the UK, and the US, involved in the interiors of superyachts, skyscrapers, and private residential around the world. I had managed relations with Clients and international audiences like top Hotel groups, major Shipyards, and big International Developers. I have enjoyed working in the UK and Spain and spent many years working abroad.

Hello. My name is Yosui Kawatani. I am a sole proprietor (trade name: Feel Layer) and I am working with my colleagues in Japan. I feel a sense of crisis that the world is now on the verge of collapse in terms of both the environment, economy, and society, and I am considering a post-capitalist society relative to the capitalist society. To achieve this, it is necessary to catch accurate and creative information quickly and use it appropriately. In recent years, doughnut economics has been attracting attention and being valued by communities that question excessive capitalism and technocracy, but there is still a noticeable delay in reaching social implementation, especially in Japan. That is why I would like to participate in the DOUGHNUT ECONOMICS ACTION LAB, not only to bring inspiration and ideas to my personal activities, but also to participate in the activities of the DOUGHNUT ECONOMICS ACTION LAB and work for the realization of a sustainable economy in Japan. I would like to move.
