WHAT IS the GLOBAL SHAPERS community?
Born out of the World Economic Forum, the Global Shapers Community is a network of Hubs developed and led by young people under the age of 30 who are exceptional in their potential, their achievements, and their drive to address local, regional, and global challenges. With more than 13,000 members, the Global Shapers Community spans 430 city-based hubs in 150 countries.
The Copenhagen Hub was launched in 2012 by a group of people committed to bringing the Global Shapers Community to Denmark and ensure that Copenhagen-based change-makers under 30 had a forum for collaboration to maximize the impact of their actions.
Learn more about our social impact projects here and meet our hub members here.
Who should apply?
If you are between 18-27, based in Copenhagen and have the drive to achieve something extraordinary with social impact, then we would love to hear from you.
We do not care what field of study/work you are in or if you plan to impact 5 or 50.000 people – we want to hear what makes you tick and how joining our community will enable you to achieve your goals.
How to apply
We take in new applicants twice a year in a Spring and Fall cycle respectively. The next application deadline is March 22nd 2024, and you apply by filling out this application form.
If you want the opportunity to ask questions, meet some of the current Shapers, and gain insights into the work we do before you apply. The date will be shared soon.
Application process
Potential Global Shapers go through an application form first. We assess all applications based on a number of criteria such as demonstrated impact, ability to commit time, the value the applicant would get out of joining the Global Shapers Community, and what new things the applicant can bring to our hub. This ensures we remain a diverse hub representing our community.
Successful applicants will be invited for an interview, where we will test you on your previous experience, your impact, your ambitions and your rationale for applying to our hub.
The interviews will be held between 23-31 March. New Shapers will be notified no later than 3 April.
Our application process is designed on principles of equal opportunity regardless of background, strives for fair assessment at all levels, and aims at ensuring that applicants are ready to dedicate the time and energy it takes to be part of our hub.
Can I nonimate a Shaper?
We do not have a formal nomination process, but you are very welcome to contact us via email if you believe you know someone who needs an extra push to apply to our hub. We will then reach out to the person and share information about our hub and how to apply.
