#ShapePride is the annual Pride celebration within the Global Shapers Community (GSC). In partnership with Young Global Leaders, this event campaign marks the month of Pride through a summit and a social media campaign. Initiated by the LGBTQI Social Inclusion Lead of the Equity & Inclusion Steering Committee of the GSC, #ShapePride engages the collaboration of Global Shapers hubs, Young Global Leaders (YGLs), and support from Forum staff. Beyond celebrating diversity, #ShapePRIDE engages on the need for LGBTQI equality, inclusion and recognition both within and outside our Communities.
For the inaugural 2020 #ShapePRIDE, Global Shapers from 77+ Hubs in 44+ Countries engaged in the campaign. The social media campaign was open to the public, but the summit was a closed event (invite-only for Global Shapers, Young Global Leaders, Forum Staff and invited guests). The number of registrants was 193 and the number of attendees was 110. The reach on social media culminated to around 101,000 people.
