The Global Shapers Kathmandu Hub concluded its two-day political imagination workshop, “Power, Process, Structure, and Discourse,” in collaboration with Karkhana Samuha. The workshop is part of the hub’s project Shaping Political Futures, which won the World Economic Forum (WEF) Innovation Prize in 2024. Bringing together over 30 young leaders, policy thinkers, and civic actors from across Nepal, the event explored themes of politics, federalism, governance, and civic participation. Sessions were led by experts including Kailash Rai, Hari Sharma, Binaya Mishra, and Meena Sharma, offering insights into political transitions, nation-state concepts, federal restructuring, and conflict resolution.

The second day featured reflections on mental health through Mero Mansik Yatra, followed by discussions on education, entrepreneurship, and policy-making with contributors such as Sumiran Shrestha, Surath Giri, and Neha Shrestha. Interactive elements, such as a strategic social deduction game and a civic action session titled “Letter to the Representative,” encouraged participants to reflect on leadership, inclusion, and public accountability.
