HOW TO TELL A STORY

Share your why, win supporters, and inspire action

Presented by Andrew Shirman
Co-Founder, Education in Sight and Mantra
Curator, Beijing II Hub Global Shapers


Please note Shaper Trainings can only accommodate 15 attendees. We will notify you if you are selected to join the day before the event.

Andrew is a Beijing-based social entrepreneur who is the CEO and Founder of the NGO Education In Sight, and the Co-Founder of the buy-one-donate-one eyewear brand Mantra. His life changed after spending two years teaching in the countryside of China. While there, he saw the everyday challenges his students faced, especially those with poor vision who couldn't see in class. This pushed him to found a non-profit that brought eye exams and glasses directly to students in schools, and later, a for-profit sunglasses brand with a buy-one, donate-one model. Since starting, these two organizations have worked together to deliver over 22,000 pairs of glasses to children in rural China. Alongside his work at Education In Sight and Mantra, Andrew is also the 2017-2018 Curator of Beijing's Global Shapers network, an initiative of the World Economic Forum that brings together young leaders across the world to address the complex challenges of the future.
The Organizers:

Shaper Trainings come out of a desire in our community to learn the best skills each of our fellow Shapers has to offer. Trainings are a bi-monthly event where outstanding members of our WEF Global Shapers community share specific skills or tactics they’ve acquired to help them reach their current level of success.

造型师训练从我们社区的愿望中脱颖而出,学习我们的Shaper所提供的最好的技能。 培训是一个每两个月一次的活动,我们的WEF全球成人社区的杰出成员分享了他们获得的具体技能或策略,以帮助他们达到目前的成功水平。

The Global Shapers Community is an initiative of the World Economic Forum and constitutes a network of city-based Hubs developed and led by young leaders between 20 and 30 years old who want to develop their leadership potential towards serving society. Shapers are highly motivated individuals who have a great potential for future leadership roles in society. They are selected on the basis of their achievements, leadership potential, and commitment to make a difference.

全球杰出青年社区是世界经济论坛设立的世界性青年交流平台,面向年龄在20~30岁之间、拥有创业经验和社会贡献的未来领导人,代表着世界经济论坛的未来力量,旨在通过此项目在未来构建一个共同繁荣、更具包容性的世界。
