Teaching Heroism

The Heroic Imagination Project is an educational initiative that applies social psychology to foster situational awareness and heroic behavior in students. The program, designed for high schools and colleges, is set to expand globally. It uses engaging videos and a coaching approach to teach six key domains, including transforming passive bystanders into active heroes and promoting a growth mindset. Lessons are pretested in diverse schools and include activities, discussions, and reflection exercises to encourage student engagement and commitment to action.
