On Hope:
The Study and Practice of Keeping Going
The On Hope Study:
Since October 2025, a group of 30+ activists, scholars and change makers are collectively examining what hope means in their lives and in their work. Through online conversations, participants share experiences and good practices what hope means in our daily lives.
