Accountable spaces
Read the quotation below and consider what it means in the context of facilitating learning and how we can create spaces that enable cross-participation.
“Accountable space guidelines do not place an unfair burden of bravery. They do not create mythical promises of safety and unicorns. They place an equal amount of onus for all to behave equitably and inclusively, to foster a deeper understanding of diverse lived experiences in real-time.”
(Ahenkorah, 2020, online)

Doughnut Unrolled: The four lenses model
This model is part of Doughnut economic model and will help you explore community challenges through four different lenses:
- Local ecological.
- Global ecological.
- Local social.
- Global social.
You may wish to consider the Doughnut Unrolled economic model as a compass for human prosperity in the 21st century, with the aim of meeting the needs of all people within the means of the living planet.
This model consists of two concentric rings:
A social foundation to ensure that no one falls short of life’s essentials.
An ecological ceiling to ensure that humanity doesn’t collectively overshoot the planetary boundaries that protect Earth’s life-supporting systems.
Between these two sets of boundaries lies a doughnut-shaped space that is both ecologically safe and socially just – a space in which humanity can thrive.
The Doughnut Unrolled is the core concept at the heart of Doughnut Economics. For a more holistic view of benefits and interconnections, you can find more information by accessing the Doughnut Unrolled: Introducing the four lenses PowerPoint presentation.
