Re-Shaping Development Institute Redi
The Re-shaping Development Institute (ReDI) was founded in 2011 with the goal to provide alternative ideas as an evidence-based think-and-do-tank for international development on every level, be it projects, policies, and systems. We work in partnership with both Korean and international organizations and research institutes and focus on three main modalities of policy research, evaluation and project planning. Since its establishment, ReDI has been venturing to re-shape the structure of development, re-think conventional development theories, and finally to reform policies to challenge the principles of development itself, as an international think-and-do-tank. Our perspective is that sustainable and fundamental change is not possible without addressing the structural issues of development and the negative aspects of globalization and neo-liberalism. We aim to create change through research that has the power to influence not only developmental policies but also change people’s perspectives by educating them on alternative ideas in this field.

Living Imaginaries
Living Imaginaries brings together the bold and the grounded, combining creative re‑imagination with practical pathways for structural change. We are a mission‑driven startup working at the intersection of climate change, biodiversity, food, health, and justice — approaching them not as isolated problems but as expressions of deeper political and economic systems that need to be transformed. Our focus is on reshaping those systems and the imaginaries that sustain them. We collaborate with communities, councils, NGOs, social enterprises, international organisations, and national governments to unlock new ways of seeing and acting — from advancing biodiversity governance across oceans and cities rooted in relationships rather than market or growth‑driven logics, to building food systems that nourish people and ecosystems while building social equity. Our approach bridges arts and sciences, and policy and practice. Based between Europe and Asia-Pacific, we create space for grounded dialogue across diverse ways of knowing and making — learning from places where alternatives are already alive and building coalitions to translate these insights across contexts. For us, imagination is not naïve: it is collaborative, outward‑looking, and strategic. Through research, co-design, exhibitions, strategic advising, and policy engagement, we support the development and implementation of alternatives that open space for more just, caring, and connected ways of living.
