Project Unity, World Economic Forum, London Global Shapers Hub

Why should we back a project focused on 'unity'? Nationalist populism has upended society and is strengthening as a movement worldwide. The Global Shapers respect and welcome people from all backgrounds and viewpoints. The World Economic Forum's mission statement says, "We believe that progress happens by bringing together people from all walks of life who have the drive and the influence to make positive change." Our strapline is "Committed to improving the state of the world". A problem arises when these values of the Forum and Global Shapers is attacked. The values of global citizenship, collaboration and friendship with folk no matter their background, and the belief that we are stronger together - these are being chipped away by actors and movements which seek to criticise and break down the things Global Shapers stands for.
