About us
What is ReThink?
ReThink is a student organisation at VinUni, running since 2022. We build spaces where young people can look at a familiar problem from several angles at once — through podcasts, writing contests, workshops and events built around sharing ideas.
ReThink is also the team behind TEDx VinUniversity every year — the largest idea-sharing event at VinUni, run end to end by students, from choosing the speakers to running the night itself.
What sets ReThink apart is how we work: everything starts with the content. A question researched properly, a narrative built clearly — and only then the stage, the article or the campaign.
- ▪Meet genuinely different ways of thinking
- ▪Build the habit of rethinking day to day
- ▪Find people who think the way you do in the ReThink community
- ▪Reach the resources and networks to make real social impact
Four core values
Core Values
01
Rethink & Let Rethink
We don't accept that “this is just how things are”. We challenge ideas, never people — because change starts with a brave question.
02
Embrace Diversity
Every voice — from any discipline, any background, any point of view — is fuel for creativity. Diversity makes a community stronger in uncertain times.
03
Own & Act Together
Nobody waits for someone else to move first. Each of us takes ownership, and brings everyone along to share both the work and the result.
04
Reflect to Evolve
Not just doing — stopping to learn. Reflection is what keeps ReThink from repeating its mistakes, and what makes it grow with every step.

Three things ReThink keeps running and building alongside the main projects:

A new short-video series — experts from several fields sharing insight on the topics of the moment, opening the way for ReThinkers to connect and dig deeper.
02
ReThink Offline Event
An event bringing experts from different fields together to take apart one challenge of our time from several angles — and a place for young people to meet in person.
03
ReThinkers Community Building
A Facebook community connecting young people nationwide — where members share new perspectives and practise thinking critically about familiar problems.
