What is Global Shapers?


Mission

Global Shapers Copenhagen seek to address the biggest challenges Denmark is currently facing through our social impact projects. They are born by our hub members or in collaboration with organisations in Denmark.All our projects are executed by our hub members on a voluntary basis and our consulting engagements are pro bono.

AREAS OF IMPACT

01. CLIMATE CHANGE & SUSTAINABILITY

Climate change is not tomorrow’s problem but today’s reality. Global Shapers believe a sustainable world is possible and want to motivate leaders and learners alike to take tangible action.

02. EDUCATION & EMPLOYMENT

The world of work is changing faster than before. Recognizing new work models, will be key to harnessing and directing change towards stronger labour markets.

03. EQUITY & INCLUSION

The 21st century is a time to reduce barriers to women in the workplace, increase civic engagement among minority groups and advocate for the rights of refugees.

04. ENDLESS POSSIBILITIES

Apart from the three main impact areas, the Global Shapers Community regularly organizes initiatives in the spheres of arts and culture, urbanization, global health, water and others.
