Global We Stand
– February 5th, 2027 in Copenhagen from 1 pm – 5 pm.
Joyce Namumba Naumann is the founder and chairperson of Global We Stand, a Denmark-based women’s organization that brings together women of all nationalities to support one another through networking, mentorship, education, and community-building.
According to the organization’s story, Joyce was born and raised in Zambia. After moving to Denmark, she experienced many of the challenges that immigrants often face, including loneliness, adapting to a new culture, and finding a sense of belonging. She realized that many other women from different countries were facing similar struggles. This inspired her to create a platform where women could connect, share experiences, and help each other succeed.
The organization’s main goals are to:
- Build a supportive network for women from all nationalities living in Denmark.
- Encourage personal and professional development through workshops, mentoring, and networking.
- Promote entrepreneurship, leadership, and active participation in society.
- Foster inclusion, cultural understanding, and mutual support.
- Organises events such as International Women’s Day galas, workshops, and networking activities.
Creating a community
In a world that is more connected than ever, meaningful connections between people have never been more important. This event brings together women from diverse backgrounds, cultures, and professions to create an evening of conversation, inspiration, and shared experiences. It’s an opportunity to step away from the demands of everyday life, meet new people, exchange ideas, and celebrate the value of community. Through engaging speakers, networking, and meaningful conversations, we’ll explore how collaboration, resilience, and mutual support can open doors to new opportunities—both personally and professionally. Whether you’re looking to expand your network, gain fresh perspectives, or simply be part of an uplifting evening, this event offers a welcoming space to connect with others who share a commitment to growth and positive change.
We believe that when women come together to share knowledge, encourage one another, and celebrate each other’s achievements, stronger communities are built. We look forward to welcoming you for an evening of connection, inspiration, and celebration.
“women are stronger when they stand together – celebrating each other’s successes, supporting one another during challenges, and creating opportunities through community”
Joyce Mamumba Naumann, CEO & Founder, Global We Stand
