... Personal Video-Presentation _ Denis Kolga-Belarus ...

Dear Friends and Colleagues, 

My name is Denis Kolga from Minsk-Belarus. 
In the last years I was working hard (and still I am) on my personal development. I have been part of international and multicultural teams. This is something that helped me a lot in my personal development and in gaining a lot of experience in leadership, management, planning and executing, creativity etc.
I am the Founder of Global Shapers Minsk Hub – part of the larger group of the World Economic Forum’s Global Shapers Community. The Global Shapers Community is a network of Hubs led by young people who are exceptional in their potential, their achievements and their drive to make a contribution to their communities. Minsk Hub - unites Belarusian youth coming from various backgrounds: entrepreneurship, civil society, etc. in an effort to bring changes to the country, and integrate youth into the vibrant modern international community. 

1. Do you want to hear about my Dream? Ok, - Empowering youth to bridge global knowledge with local challenges, both in Belarus and in Eastern Europe. This is not only my dream, but also is the GS Minsk Hub’s mission
2. Im passionate about peace building, youth engagement and youth empowerment - This is my life motivation
3. My life goals? - To be elected to local government in Minsk, and then to the national parliament, in order to get an opportunity to realize both my personal dream and the mission of our hub.
4. Challenge in my society I would like to contribute to solving? - We want to change a lot in society, but now we will choose something one:
- to «educate Belarusian youth to change the perception of women’s abilities and role in society» - for me and the Minsk hub it is not only theory but also practice – now we are launching a project Art and Media Against Gender Stereotypes - as part of a global campaign #WeSeeEqual of the WEF
5. I find the possibilities of your Program to coincide with my own personal career goals and aspirations. I feel that the features of my personality, together with my academic background and experience will make me a valuable asset for contributing to the activities of project. 
I believe that Program will give me a unique experience in understanding: campaigns organization, how the democracy functions, and what can be implemented in Belarus. New contacts will widen my circle of friends and associates from around the world!
....
Kind regards, 
Denis Kolga
