Visit Rotary Service Connections at RI Convention

If you are attending the RI Convention in Lisbon, Portugal, 23-26 June, plan to participate in service-oriented breakout sessions and visit the House of Friendship to network with others who share your passion. You’ll learn about new online tools that will be available soon, be able to explore service opportunities, and connect with prospective service partners.

Service breakout sessions
On the afternoons of 24, 25, and 26 June, join the following breakout sessions to learn about new strategies and resources for enhancing your service projects. You will find a complete list of sessions, dates, and locations in your program packet at the convention.

Rotary Family Health Day: A Disease Prevention Partnership Program – Learn how Rotarians for Family Health and AIDS Prevention, a Rotarian Action Group, annually brings together hundreds of clubs and partners — government agencies, corporations, nongovernmental organizations, and the extended Rotary family — to provide free health services to thousands in Africa.

Developing Literacy Projects and LitRAG – The Literacy Rotarian Action Group (LitRAG) can help your club or district with local and international literacy initiatives. Learn about the resources and project support available from this group.

Intercountry Committees in Action – Intercountry committees, which foster international collaboration on Rotarian-led service initiatives, are active in more than 50 countries. This session will teach you how your club can work with them.

Outcomes From the Project Enhancement Process Pilot – The Water and Sanitation Rotarian Action Group and The Rotary Foundation launched the yearlong Project Enhancement Process pilot last July to establish new processes for providing technical assistance to water and sanitation service efforts. Learn about pilot outcomes, as well as opportunities to improve future projects.

Rotary Friendship Exchange – Every year, hundreds of Rotary FriendshipExchange participants gain intercultural understanding and build friendships all over the world. Attend this session to learn about expanding your Rotary network and fostering new partnerships for service.
