About The Workshop
The Workshop is a unique research organisation in Aotearoa New Zealand. We are public narrative researchers and advisors. We draw on many disciplines to understand how public narratives influence people's thinking. We identify how people explain complex issues. We use scientific methods to find narrative strategies that deepen people’s thinking about those issues. We use storytelling tools to upskill people with complex knowledge to craft effective communications.
The Workshop is part of the Common Cause Alliance (https://valuesandframes.org/), an international network of people and organisations working on evidence-led communication for systems change.
