Global Mentoring Walk Denmark

The annual Mentoring Walk in Copenhagen is one of nearly 200 Mentoring Walk held globally in over 60 countries at the beginning of March for International Women's Day. The Global Mentoring Walks is a flagship event by Vital Voices, an organization founded in 1997 by Hillary Clinton and Madeleine Albright with a desire to support other women's "global voice" professionally, legally and politically. In Denmark, Ann Randrup is the founder and promoter of Global Mentoring Walk Denmark. Through the Vital Voices Global Mentoring Walk, mentors and mentees come together to walk in their communities, sharing challenges and solutions and forming supportive bonds that foster growth, confidence and leadership. In Denmark we hand-pick inspirational women to our mentoring team and match them with mentee's based on their stated wishes at sign up. We have a strong focus on the value of cross-industry mentorships and in addition, we encourage young women to be mentors and older women to be mentees - depending on where they are in their careers and what experiences they have the opportunity to share of and wants to learn from. Our intention with Global Mentoring Walk Denmark is to empower female leadership in Denmark and it is our goal to see more women in key positions both in Denmark and globally in the future. We believe that female leadership is essential for the positive development of the world - and for us to reach the UN's Global Compact Goals fast enough. At the annual walk in Copenhagen mentors provide 1: 1 sparring and support to the next generation of female leaders. After the walk we host a lunch followed by talks and panel discussion. The event is free.
