"In the Netherlands, where there is little or no tradition of citizenship, Common Purpose has a difficult job: to engage individuals from all parts of the community, and inspire them to transform society."

About Common Purpose courses

Common Purpose runs a number of leadership development courses for people at different stages in their career, as well as a range of customised programmes and special events. The courses vary in length and content but they all involve participants and contributors from the private, public and voluntary sectors. This mix is an integral and unique feature of Common Purpose courses, where the aim is to bring together people who might ordinarily never meet in their day to day working lives. 

What underpins all Common Purpose courses is a belief that society benefits from people of all ages, backgrounds and cultures working together to help guide and shape the future of their organisations and communities. This is best achieved when leaders are able to realise their full potential, through broadening their horizons and establishing firm roots in their communities.
