SHAPEs are regional events created by Shapers, for Shapers.

Over 60 Shapers gathered for SHAPE Africa 2017 under the theme #OurAfricaOurStory. Hosted by Addis Ababa Hub, Shapers interacted with high-level business and political leaders at the African Union to spark awareness for cultural and trade relationships between African countries.

Shapers also visited the Ethiopian Airlines Academy, attended cultural ceremonies and an open mic night to share their stories.
