Age is a diversity metric. To ensure the world’s economic leaders are driving value for all their stakeholders in responsible business, they are increasingly involving Youth with a seat at the table. The Global Shapers Community is a network of young people who are working together to drive dialogue, action and change to address local, regional and global challenges. Today, we ask the Head of theGlobal Shapers Community at the World Economic Forum in Geneva, Wadia Ait Hamza, how he focuses on empowering young people and enabling them to self organise for impact. This episode is full of motivational recommendations and inspiring insights to the Great Reset our global economy is working towards.
The youth of today are living in an online world where the competition is global. So it's a given we are global citizens. But beyond that, Millenials are striving to be human first. Their sense of human supersedes the sense of race or nationality.
