Ways We’ve Helped

Creating a Culture

Mt. Morris schools were looking to improve relationships between students. They wanted to increase the impact of the character education program and anti-bullying efforts.

Our priority is to help make change. It’s not going to be swooping in and out. It is about empowering the students and being part of the school culture. We are impacting the kids’ lives with specific examples and everyday people. They can be a hero every day - they don’t have to do something great, but every day the choices they make can affect others.

Building a Movement

In Budapest, Hero Square has started a movement across the whole country, engaging volunteers and trainers to deliver programming to corporations, schools, and universities.

Every year, Dr. Zimbardo visits the group to give keynotes, run trainings, and talk to the press as a way of injecting energy on a regular basis.

Starting a Journey

Mariana Barbosa led a team from Portugal to attend the Hero Round Table in San Francisco and take an in-person hero training class.

She and the team returned to Porto and created a program for middle school students that is showing remarkable results. From this initial success, she plans to create HIP Portugal to train people across the country.

Anyone can take our trainings. Anyone can start their own journey in teaching heroism.
