Changing Culture: How Culture can Catalyse a Values Revolution
Tom Crompton, Common Cause Foundation
We tend to lose hope in the potential for change because we don’t believe other people care. Groundbreaking research by the Common Cause Foundation found that most people actually care deeply about one another and the world around them, often valuing equality, compassion and kindness highly. This workshop with the co-founder of the Common Cause Foundation, Tom Crompton, will show you appealing to people’s self-interest can undermine change and how everyday encounters can bring the kindness, compassion and care needed for rapid transition out in the open.
Tom Crompton has worked on values and social change for over a decade with some of the UK’s best-known charities. He is now coordinating the establishment of the Common Cause Foundation, whose work seeks to strengthen and give voice to the compassionate values that underpin social and environmental concern.
