WAM | World Economic Forum Considers Impact of Youth Leadership, Launches Global Shapers Middle East

In an effort to tap into the potential of the youth generation, especially given recent events in the Arab world, the World Economic Forum today launched the Global Shapers Middle East Community.

A WEF statement said :''The Global Shapers Community is a worldwide network of Hubs led by 20- to 30-year-olds who are exceptional in their potential, achievements and drive to make a positive contribution to their communities. The newest community to join the group was announced today at the World Economic Forum Special Meeting on Economic Growth and Job Creation in the Arab World, at the Dead Sea, Jordan.

"We are becoming increasingly aware that solutions to our global challenges must purposefully engage youth at all levels - locally, nationally, regionally and globally. This generation has the passion, dynamism and entrepreneurial spirit to shape the future," said Klaus Schwab, Founder and Executive Chairman, World Economic Forum.
