More on the topic of social innovation: One of the “Global Shapers” attending Davos is Jeronimo Calderon, a Swiss-Bolivian entrepreneur and the founder of Euforia, a platform for youth activism. The company started “with six crazy people and a bottle of whiskey,” plus the understanding that young people have the desire — but not the resources — to effect change. Calderon says 70% of young people want to get involved in social or environmental projects, but only 12% actually are. Anything that could help narrow that gap stands to make a big difference.

One of the World Economic Forum’s young “Global Shapers,” Nicole Heim is the 29-year-old CEO of Young Enterprise Switzerland. Her organization develops entrepreneurial education programs for students, setting them up to run their own businesses for a year. Beyond heading up such an interesting initiative, Heim also speaks eloquently about the importance of entrepreneurial education for young people. She’s also got a unique perspective on one of the big issues preoccupying not just WEF, but many of the world’s leaders and thinkers: a global generation of jobless, increasingly disaffected youths.
