Collective Imagination is an emerging field focussed on imagining and building worlds that break from cycles of depletion and injustice. Imagination Practice is the term we use to describe ways of working that help people to find and use their imaginative power.
The Collective Imagination Practice Community (CIPC) is a global constellation of 1,700+ people growing their capacity to apply imagination practice to urgent questions. We are learning in community because we know the questions of our time are too complex to be solved from a single perspective.
This hub gathers the wisdom, stories and resources from our 2023–2025 initiatives. Explore below and via the navigation bar to discover practices, projects, learning and impact. In this space, you can engage with:
CIPC is stewarded by Canopy and Huddlecraft and funded by Joseph Rowntree Foundation’s Emerging Futures Team and Arising Quo.
Collective Imagination is sometimes also called Social, Ecological, Civic and Public Imagination.

Read case studies of what the CIPC have seeded and funded, as well as the impact made possible by micro-funding.
Dive deeper into some of the micro-funded projects in the Seed Library↗︎. You’ll hear directly from imagination practitioners about their project background, what they set in motion, how it unfolded, as well as their learning and reflections.
