A network on the ground...
Our generation faces numerous economic, ecological, and societal challenges. We believe in the power of youth to address these issues by developing concrete solutions and leading local initiatives that will shape the world of tomorrow.
In cities around the world, teams of Shapers come together to design and implement projects that respond to the specific needs of their communities.
These initiatives cover a wide range of areas, from disaster relief to poverty reduction and climate action.
Despite their diverse backgrounds, expertise, and experiences, all Shapers share a common commitment: to be a driving force for change.
...for a large-scale impact
Shapers strive to create a global impact by collaborating with other Hubs, forming a dynamic network of peers connected through technology, events, and shared initiatives.
Each year, hundreds of Hub leaders, known as curators, gather to showcase their projects and strengthen ties between communities.
At the regional level, Shapers design and lead events that foster collaboration, facilitate knowledge exchange, and explore practical solutions to implement within their communities.
