Peace & Conflict Resolution - Rotary Theme for February

 

This is at the heart of all of Rotary’s work.

 

Fostering Peace and Understanding led to Youth Exchange Programmes

It led to our Rotary Peace Fellowships- Over the past decade 1000 professionals have been selected and trained in Rotary’s Peace Centres in Universities around the world . They are now working for peace in over 100 countries.

We refuse to accept conflict as a way of life. Rotary projects provide training that fosters understanding and provides communities with the skills to resolve conflicts

Through our service projects, peace fellowships, and scholarships, our members are taking action to address the underlying causes of conflict, including poverty, inequality, ethnic tension, lack of access to education, and unequal distribution of resources.

We help leaders learn how to prevent and mediate conflict at its source.

In New Zealand and Fiji, we help protect domestic violence survivors and their families.

There can be no Peace while people have poor water, disease, poor Mother & Child health, no education, and poverty

Rotary’s Key priorities address these in all the major projects we do.
