The Human Exploring Society (THES) is an emerging space of creatives, artists, and activists who enjoy working together to co-create solutions for radical and systematic change.
Human, because we seek to inform everyone and offer a voice to marginalised communities, Exploring because we operate creatively, investigating all topics and Society because we are a cooperative who are managed collectively, respectful of all ethical values of democracy, equality, equity and solidarity.
The idea for The Human Exploring Society was born in 2019 when the founders of the project engaged in some environmental groups and human rights charities, realizing that the most effective, positive change in society that our Planet Earth requires would be more successful if it were implemented in every aspect of people’s daily lives: despite the enormity of the problems, the solutions are in the smallest and simplest moves.
At the end of 2020 that idea became The Human Exploring Society, a Co-operative Company, constantly growing thanks to valuable individuals who are keen to join our Team with the same enthusiasm and worldly views that inspired the ethos of the enterprise.
We are a growing team of creatives
