What People Said
“As a team, we’ve been wanting to bring the Doughnut to the city for years and Global Donut Day was just the push we needed to get started.” - Alexandra Anghel, Cluj Sustainable, Cluj-Napoca, Romania.
“Global Donut Day was great. We loved it, as it helped us a lot. We will now make a project on rainwater harvesting with the community and with the school of design that resulted from a workshop we organized in the GDD. So it was very very useful!” Eva Valencia-Lenero, Tricolour Coalition, Mexico City, Mexico
“It was really powerful, being able to connect with people globally around our work and around a much bigger story of economic transformation.” - Catriona Rawsthorne, CIVIC SQUARE, Birmingham, UK
