Policymakers, civil society and the public sector, face their biggest test in generations. Rising income inequality, job displacement by technology-driven innovation in tandem with the coronavirus pandemic, growing socio-economic and racial inequalities, and global immigration crises are some of our era-defining moments.

Responding poorly to the world's converging crises strengthens the growing calls globally to transform the future of politics and governance, and rebuild institutions from the ground up. This series invites local political and civic leaders, thought leaders, youth, and activists to discuss how we can collectively transform the future of our region and reimagine our local government institutions to be more responsive to the challenges of our generation and the future.

Goals

1. To raise awareness of the work of Global Shapers and the Cleveland Hub.

2. To ensure that all interested citizens, especially youth, have the chance to participate.
