World Economic Forum Launches Global Shapers Community
- Fifty per cent of the world’s population is under the age of 27, but the youth voice has been largely absent from global decision-making platforms and processes
- World Economic Forum will bring its 41-year experience of building multistakeholder communities to a global platform for this dynamic generation
- Global Shapers are 20-30 years of age, with great potential for future leadership roles in all sectors of society.
Dalian, People‘s Republic of China, 14 September 2011 – The World Economic Forum today announced the creation of the Global Shapers community. Launched at its Annual Meeting of the New Champions 2011, the community will provide youth with a global platform to shape the future – integrating personal, community and global dimensions. Working in collaboration with the Forum of Young Global Leaders, this community will help youth develop their leadership potential to serve society.
