Global Shapers Community

The GSC was founded by the World Economic Forum in 2011 as a network of young people working together to address local, regional, and global challenges. With more than 12,000 members and alumni, the Community spans over 500 city-based hubs in 150 countries, including 11 in Italy. Shapers are between 18 and 33 years old. Hubs include between 20 and 50 members.

Osasco Hub

The Osasco Hub, or HubOz as we like to call it, is a diverse community of young leaders committed to shaping a better future in their local communities and beyond. Since our founding in 2023, we've impacted thousands of lives by turning innovative ideas into tangible solutions. The projects initiated by the Global Shapers have not only addressed some of the most pressing issues in Brazil, but also at the same time resulted in public policy changes throughout the country. Many of these projects focus on youth empowerment, reskilling, education and technology.

World Economic Forum

The WEF is the leading International Organization for Public-Private Cooperation. Established in 1971 in Switzerland as a non-profit foundation, it organizes high profile events, most notably the Annual Summit in Davos (in Switzerland 🇨🇭) every January which serves as a space for confrontation and dialogue between political, business and civil society leaders. Through events and projects, the Forum brings together people from all walks of life who have the drive to make a positive change on local, regional and international levels.
Recognizing the importance of empowering future leaders, the WEF actively involves young people through initiatives like the Global Shapers Community - a network of young changemakers driving social impact - and the Young Global Leaders program, which fosters leadership among exceptional individuals under 40. Additionally, the Davos Lab encourages youth-led policy proposals to address pressing global challenges. By integrating young voices into its platforms, the WEF ensures that the next generation plays a key role in shaping a more inclusive and sustainable future
