You have heard plenty of talk about building peace as our Rotary District maintained its Black Caviar record of identifying Peace Fellows. Peace means different things to different people. But what does PEACE mean to you?
The Institute for Economics and Peace (IEP) – an Australian based organisation – has partnered with The Rotary Foundation HQ in Evanston to establish the Rotary Peace Academy, an interactive program which explains “Positive Peace”. Again, Australia leads the way.
At the seminar, experience and learn about “Positive Peace”; bring a laptop or if you do not have a laptop, there will be projected information on the practicalities of peace. So, rather than sitting passively in an audience, come and be actively involved in the program.
Rotary Peace Fellow, Charlie Allen, has been appointed to launch the program for IEP and has already run successful sessions in Mexico where it is backed by the government and in Uganda. This will be its Australian launch; facilitated by Charlie Allen and another IEP staff member, both of whom are travelling from Sydney to conduct the launch.
It is aimed to have District 9800 lead the way for all Australian Districts in getting the Rotary Peace Academy’s program into all Clubs. This Australian initiative is adding extra "oomph" into one of Rotary International’s Areas of Focus – Peace and Conflict/Prevention/Resolution.
Some of our Peace Fellows will be at the Seminar and the break for light refreshments will provide an opportunity for networking and socialising. We guarantee that this Seminar will definitely be different and interactive.
Cost: $30.00 per person
