Global Shapers Community

Access to global youth movement created at World Economic Forum added to PMWL in new Solving Global Problems section

23 January 2018 – Davos, Switzerland – Access to a major new resource has been added to the PM World Library related to solving global problems.  The resource is called “Global Shapers Community”, a global network of young people working to solve global problems.

Born out of the World Economic Forum, the Global Shapers Community is a network of inspiring young people under the age of 30 working together to address local, regional and global challenges. With more than 7,000 members, the Global Shapers Community spans 376 city-based hubs in 156 countries. In each city, teams of Shapers self-organize to create projects that address the needs of their community. Projects are wide-ranging – from responding to disasters and combating poverty, to fighting climate change and building inclusive communities. Shapers are diverse in expertise, education, income and race, but are united by their desire to bring about change.

Shapers look for opportunities to have impact on a global scale by joining forces with other hubs. They represent a network of peers connected through technology, events and joint projects. Each year, hundreds of hub leaders known as Curators come together to showcase the work of their hub and strengthen relationships across communities. On the regional level, events are designed and led by Shapers to encourage collaboration, share expertise and explore community solutions.

To access this resource, go to https://pmworldlibrary.net/solving-global-problems/, select “Global Initiatives”, scroll down to Global Shapers Community. Free access to all.
