This new community – the Global Shapers Community – will provide youth with a global platform to shape the future – integrating the personal, community and global dimension. Through the unparalleled convening power of the World Economic Forum, the Global Shapers Community is diverse in demographics, geographical areas and sectors. However, it is united by a common desire to channel the members’ tremendous energy and enthusiasm into building a more peaceful and inclusive world.

Together with The Men’s Corner ® and One Economy Foundation ,the betterboysbettermen Initiative brought young men together for a Barbershop Talk centred on open and honest conversations.
From masculinity and mental health to identity, relationships, positive role models and the pressures young men navigate, the conversation created an opportunity to listen, share experiences and learn from one another.
Creating spaces where young men can speak openly is an important part of building healthier communities.
