Australia
Angela Rutter, Manager of The Climate Reality Project at the Australian Conservation Foundation, has run a number of Common Cause workshops in Australia, and we are currently working on ways to support her virtually as she engages more people in the conversation she has started. Do get in touch with her at A.Rutter@acfonline.org.au if you would like to help her in this work.
Austria
Maria Miguel Ribeiro, who works at BOKU University of Natural Resources and Applied Life Sciences in Vienna, organised a large Common Cause workshop in November 2011. She is now convening a wider conversation in Austria. If you would like to be involved in this discussion, please get in touch with her at maria.ribeiro@boku.ac.at.
Brazil
Gisela Moreau has facilitated the translation of Common Cause into Portuguese, and has been convening discussion on this material at her team’s cultural & political headquarters www.cineclubesocioambiental.org.br in São Paulo, Brazil. You can download the report below.
Note that researchers who are working on cultural values have developed a set of specific survey items (for example, ‘wealth’ or ‘humble’) and have translated and tested these in many languages, including Portuguese. The current Portuguese translation of Common Cause does not, as yet, include the specific translations of survey items as established by academics working on values in Brazil. We’ll be posting translations of these items soon.
If you are interested in becoming involved in this conversation, please contact Gisela at: gismore@uol.com.br.
