Additional Training Opportunities

The Tools of Change Webinar Series on Social Marketing Case Studies

Tools of Change webinars are live and interactive. Participants view PowerPoint presentations and other visuals using their Web browsers; they listen to the webinars, ask questions, make comments, and exchange advice using their telephones. The webinars complement and use the same language and conceptual framework as www.toolsofchange.com, Doug McKenzie-Mohr’s Community Based Social Marketing www.cbsm.com, the Turning Point Social Marketing National Excellence Collaborative, and the CDCynergy-Social Marketing Edition.

These hour-long sessions feature presentations by the “movers and shakers” who organized the innovative programs we reported on in a new or recently revised case study. During these sessions, you can listen to them describe their work, ask them questions, and learn about related initiatives.

Read more about the Webinars.
Suggested audience: all levels of experience.
Price: $25 US.
Qualifying students and NGOs can participate for FREE! For more information, e-mail Jay Kassirer at kassirer@cullbridge.com.
