About

The Heroic Imagination Project (HIP) is a non-profit organization based in San Francisco, California. Founded by Dr. Philip Zimbardo, it focuses on promoting heroism in everyday life. HIP aims to equip individuals with the knowledge and skills to act heroically in challenging situations, drawing on insights from social psychology. HIP offers a variety of training and education programs, including workshops and online courses that address bystander behavior and bias. Their curriculum, designed for secondary schools, promotes heroism education among young people. The organization also conducts research on heroism and publishes works related to pro-social behaviors. HIP collaborates with schools, NGOs, and businesses globally, hosting events like the Hero Round Table conferences to raise awareness and funds for its mission.
