The Heroic Imagination Project (HIP) is a non-profit research and education organization dedicated to promoting heroism in everyday life. HIP started as the controversial Stanford Prison Experiment by founder and director Philip Zimbardo in 1971 that later became a collective social experiment. It conducts trainings and workshops that tackle bullying, police oversight, racism or sexism for businesses and schools across the United States and other nations around the world. It works with several governmental agencies like the Police Orientation and Preparation Program to better understand the impact of bias on oversight strategies, profiling tendencies and safety protocol.
