Go Green with the Donut Toolkit!
The Purpose of the Donut Advisory Toolkit is to consider the wide range of possible impacts that a proposed event could have on environmental and social impact.
In this session, Andrew will introduce and provide an overview of how the Donut Advisory Toolkit works; how you might use it to track your event or festival’s current environmental and social credentials, and how the toolkit can suggest improvement in these areas. The session will be hosted by Mark Denbigh, who is the sustainability lead for Norfolk & Norwich Festival. Mark will provide some wider context on other environmental policies, practices, and strategies in the outdoor sector. We will then have an open Q+A which will last around 30 minutes.
Andrew is Senior Academic at the University of Gloucestershire, Innovation Manager for Cheltenham Festivals, and coordinator for the Cheltenham Culture Board. He has worked for almost 30 years in cross sector roles including: events; academia; politics; broadcast and innovation. Leading on research and project delivery within creative ecosystems, event sustainability, artist accessibility, mental health, and the future of cultural placemaking, he now runs a neurodivergent consultancy that specialises in intersectional, regenerative projects around the UK and beyond. He is also a trustee for Youth Music and Global Local and in his spare time performs as double bassist with Thrill Collins.
Mark is Head of Production & Programme at Norfolk & Norwich Festival – the East of England’s flagship annual arts festival. Each year the festival commissions and produces new work across a spectrum of artists and practices, as well as presenting the best in theatre, performance, dance, classical and contemporary music, circus, cabaret, literature and outdoor work for an audience of 100,000 people. The festival also works with local artists and communities to create unique experiences as well as with partners in the city of Norwich and across the county of Norfolk.
