Our Narratives for Change Foundations 1-day, in-person training is designed for people who want to understand and use better narratives for talking about the big issues. Changing how we talk about big issues helps shift mindsets and helps people understand and support the changes that will make the biggest difference to people’s lives. Foundations is where you can start your training journey with The Workshop.

Delivered as a 1-day, in-person workshop on Thursday 7 March 2024 at a venue at Maungakiekie / One Tree Hill, Auckland, our 1-day Foundations is a great introduction to Narratives for Change. Whether you’re all in the same organisation, or individuals or groups working on similar issues, our 1-day Foundations training is the ideal way to come together to learn about using narratives to create change.
