Common Cause Fundamentals - April/May 2026

This multi-session Zoom-based training program is for those eager to learn what really makes people tick.

In this interactive training you will learn:

• What values are and how they work
• How to engage values in order to motivate pro-social and environmental action that is widespread, deep and enduring
• How to avoid engaging values that discourage social change and action
• The surprising truths about our fellow citizens’ values and how our perception of their values changes how we engage in pro-social and environmental action
• How to change systems at the core by engaging values, with recent successful examples
• Practical implications for strategic planning, policy, program/campaign design, community organising and communications.

Who should attend

This workshop is tailored for campaigners, communicators, organisers, fundraisers and leaders of progressive organisations who want to motivate deeper and more durable support for their issues - and in so doing create a more just, sustainable and democratic world.
