At the SCHOOL OF POLIT­IC­AL HOPE (SPH), we believe that hope is not a pass­ive feel­ing — it is a polit­ic­al prac­tice. Our work starts with the con­vic­tion that mean­ing­ful change hap­pens when polit­ic­al ima­gin­a­tion, col­lect­ive care, and stra­tegic action come together.

We cre­ate spaces where people can con­nect their per­son­al stor­ies with col­lect­ive struggles, trans­form­ing vul­ner­ab­il­ity into strength and isol­a­tion into solid­ar­ity. For us, polit­ic­al work is not just about res­ist­ance — it’s about build­ing new ways of being togeth­er, rooted in justice, dig­nity, and care.

Our approach is par­ti­cip­at­ory, inter­sec­tion­al, and transna­tion­al. We draw from a wide range of meth­ods: from Pub­lic Nar­rat­ive and grass­roots organ­iz­ing strategies to col­lect­ive storytelling and heal­ing justice prac­tices. Each pro­cess cen­ters the lived exper­i­ences of those most impacted by sys­tem­ic injustice, ensur­ing that the know­ledge we cre­ate is not just the­or­et­ic­al but deeply groun­ded in real-world struggles.

We move at the speed of trust. This means that every work­shop, train­ing, or col­lab­or­at­ive pro­cess we design is shaped by the unique needs of the people we work with — wheth­er they are grass­roots move­ments fight­ing for cli­mate justice, migrant organ­iz­a­tions demand­ing dig­nity, or uni­ons build­ing work­er power.

Learn­ing with us means enga­ging in reflect­ive story circles, hands-on cam­paign labs, and stra­tegic dia­logues. It means recog­niz­ing that polit­ic­al work doesn’t only hap­pen in pub­lic speeches and protests — it hap­pens in the quiet moments of care, the hon­est con­ver­sa­tions about fear and hope, and the col­lect­ive vis­ion­ing of a bet­ter world.

We don’t offer one-size-fits-all solu­tions. Instead, we walk along­side you — co-cre­at­ing spaces of learn­ing and action, nur­tur­ing the polit­ic­al soul, and strength­en­ing the col­lect­ive body.

Let’s make the road by walk­ing — together.
