IN-PERSON: Finding the Courage to Drive Change

Guinness Enterprise, Centre Dublin 8, Dublin

Thursday, 12 March | 10:00AM – 11:30AM

Join us in the GEC to dive deep into empowering stories and strategies on how to make a real impact in the world around us.

The GEC Sustainability Cluster are thrilled to invite you to our next monthly Meet Up on Thursday, 12th March, for a session titled Finding the Courage to Drive Change.

Inspired by Kate Raworth’s Doughnut Economics and developed by the Doughnut Economics Action Lab (DEAL), this is not your typical seminar. This is a hands-on, movement-based workshop designed to help us reimagine what business success looks like when we aim to thrive within planetary limits and social equity.

What to expect:

  • Map the Challenge: Using ropes, we will physically construct the “ecological ceiling” and “social foundation” to visually grasp the Doughnut framework.
  • Experience the Doughnut: You will move through key zones—from “resource overshoot” to the “social shortfall”—to find the sweet spot of a “safe and just space for all.”
  • Commit to Action: We will explore practical examples from business and local communities, leaving you with tangible actions for a regenerative future.

Why it matters:
This active learning experience makes complex planetary constraints feel real. By the end of the 90 minutes, you will walk away with concrete tools and the courage needed to lead change within your own business or community.
