Launch of the Global Shapers Davos Hub

Join Global Shapers from all around the world for the launch of the Global Shapers Davos Hub and for an interactive session. The discussion will focus on the community’s past and future impact and will set areas of action and priorities for the Davos Hub’s starting years.
The World Economic Forum’s Global Shapers Community of changemakers and entrepreneurs under the age of 30 continue to take collective action to combat climate change, create more inclusive communities, and safeguard youth mental health.
By expanding the Global Shapers Community to all corners of the world, the World Economic Forum helps to empower even more young change-makers to drive positive impact. Find out how to open a Global Shapers Hub in your city by contacting globalshapers@weforum.org.
