Weekly Program - November 25 - Peace Without Borders

[Janie]

In 2012-13, Rotary International will hold three Rotary Global Peace Forums. Each forum will be a two- or three-day program to engage and inspire Rotarians and community leaders to champion President Sakuji Tanaka’s RI theme, Peace Through Service. 

The first is in Berlin, Germany -- Peace Without Borders
•From 30 November to 2 December 2012

The advancement of international understanding, goodwill, and peace is one of the cornerstones of the Rotary movement.With Rotary's active presence in more than 200 countries and geographical areas, our organization has established itself as a world leader in fostering world understanding and peace.
 
We have accomplished a great deal in this area throughout our history, but we must continue to look forward and recognize that the future of Rotary - and the future prospects of world peace - rest with today's young leaders. To ensure a lasting legacy in this arena we must engage young people and the new generations to come in a meaningful way and empower them to carry Rotary's peace-building efforts into the future.
 

The Forum in Berlin will emphasize the value of Democracy and Freedom
Examines the role of democracy in building peace and promotes opportunities for all people to engage onenother in international understanding and cooperation. Will celebrate and highlight role of intercountry committees in promoting understanding among nations.

These Global Peace Forums are very exciting, and will certainly bring a lot of leaders, Rotarians, and interested people together to brainstorm solutions for a more peaceful world.  I know when I went to the World Peace Symposium before the International Convention in Bangkok, there were so many great ideas, and people enthusiastic about bringing Peace and Goodwill to the world.  Plus, with the successes of the Rotary Peace Centers around the world for several years now, there are more and more graduates from all corners of the globe who are working in diplomacy, governments, non-profits, and from the ground levels to the highest officials - all wanting to make a difference.  Very exciting!

Yours In Rotary,

Kristin
