Public workshops

Want to understand the fundamentals of values or frames, or dig a little deeper and get practical? Attending a Common Cause workshop or masterclass is a great way to deepen your understanding, develop new skills and make new connections.

Fundamentals

In our Common Cause Fundamentals training, you’ll learn how value and frames really work to change the way people think and act. We’ll explore how values underpin social systems and why we all share a common cause in the values we engage in our work.

Masterclass

If you want to take your values-based messaging skills to the next level, our Communications Masterclass is designed for you. Over three weeks we help you craft a message from the ground up using our evidence-based frameworks and tools, with feedback throughout.

Framing Health

Learn how to apply values-based messaging to public health in this online workshop tailored to health promotion professionals. We’ll share our evidence-based tips for more effective health promotion messaging as you put them into practice using examples from your own work.

Custom workshops

If you’d like a more bespoke training session, or you want your whole team to be skilled up, then our custom workshops may suit you best.

We offer tailored in-house workshops for social and environmentally focused organisations and their partners.

We also offer organisations and coalitions many forms of support to implement the Common Cause approach, including visioning and strategic planning, staff mentorship programs, and message development workshops.
