Welcome to the IDEN Wiki

IDEN, Irish Doughnut Economics Network is a voluntary group of individuals that come together to

• learn and share knowledge about transformative action through the model of Doughnut Economics
• explore a healthy discourse and hear different voices around new ideas for 21st-century economics
• connect with each other through the Doughnut Economics Action Lab (DEAL) code of conduct and principle of practice
• support ourselves and each other around the aim of meeting the needs of all people within the means of the living planet
• bring the doughnut local in an Irish context to their town, village, city, place of work or organisation and are learning how they might do that

This site is intended to hold our documentation and allow us to collaborate on events and actions relevant to Doughnut Economics in Ireland.
Irish doughnutters are a friendly bunch from all different backgrounds bringing their curiosity to a shared interest, to see if they can find answers in the doughnut for places we live, work and play in.

Our aim is to create an open resourceful space digitally and in-person (when this becomes possible again).

We respectfully request that people wanting to join IDEN have familiarised themselves and joined DEAL as we follow the principles of practice and the code of conduct.
By joining IDEN events or engaging digitally in dedicated spaces you are agreeing to have read & follow the code of conduct and principles of practice.
This is to create a fair and safe space for everyone online.

IDEN Bookclub

Listed on DEAL here. The BookClub is hosted by Caroline, Celine and Lauren. It came out of our first cuppa where Roisin asked us all to map our current knowledge of Doughnut Economics. The aim is to increase our knowledge, collective narrative and be able to speak about using the doughnut for transformative change. Individually committing to a deep dive read of one chapter a week. The group comes together to discuss and explore the chapters, reflecting on personal learning and action.

The IDEN book club has concluded it's deep dive. The format of 3 participants invited to lead the following week discussion. worked really well for learning and knowledge sharing. Most of the presentations are here.
