What is Think Collective?
Think Collective is a community of/for social development practitioners who care about reflection, strategic brainstorming, and collective sensemaking. It welcomes thinkers and doers who are questioning the status quo in their own domains to engage with shared inquiries around scale, speed, and sustainability of exponential change, grounded in the ideas of the Think books.
Why have a Think Collective month?
To bring people together
To amplify openness
To encourage experimentation
Who's it for?
The Think Collective Month is for you if:
You work in social development and want to think more deeply about the work, not just do it.
You're part of a organisation, or community that cares about scale, speed, and sustainability of change.
You're a young person with a perspective that deserves to be heard.
You're an academic, artist, or urban thinker who believes ideas should travel across fields.
Or you're simply a person who thinks and wants to be around others who do, too.
Who organizes Think Collective Month?
Think Collective Month is initiated by Centre for Exponential Change, but it is intentionally designed as a community-wide effort. Anyone who cares about societal challenges and new ways of thinking about change is welcome to participate.
Who can participate?
Social development practitioners are the primary community around Think Collective, but Think Collective Month is open to everyone.
Whether you work in tech, business, design, art, law, policy, education, research — or are simply curious — you are welcome to join the gatherings and activities happening throughout July.
Does Think Collective Month have geographical limitations?
Not at all.
Many activities will happen in Bangalore because that’s where we are based. But Think Collective Month is designed to travel. You can participate, host, or co-create activities from anywhere — online or offline, in any city or country.

Do I need approval to be a co-host?
No approval is needed.
If you’d like, you can share your idea with us and we’d be happy to help you shape or strengthen it. Drop it like it’s hot to polina@c4ec.org.
Can I co-brand an event with Think Collective Month?
Yes.

Is there a fee to participate?
No. Participation is free.
Being a co-host is free, and all Think Collective Month gatherings will also be free to attend, except a few ones where the third-party is involved in organizing a ticketed event.
What are the benefits of participating?
Think Collective Month is an opportunity to:
meet people across sectors and spaces
explore fresh perspectives on societal change
apply meta level concepts to your context-specific practice
bring reflection into everyday work
take a breather from the to-do list
Or simply put:
if you care about societal change, chances are your people will be here.
Is there a calendar of all Think Collective Month activities?
Yes. A shared calendar of events and gatherings that is being continuously updated is here.
I’m not familiar with Societal Thinking ideas & I’ve not read the Think books. Can I still join?
Absolutely.
And maybe this is the right moment to get yourself familiar. :)
Think Collective Month is designed for both people already in the ecosystem and those encountering these ideas for the first time. Curiosity is enough to begin.
