Rotary members encourage conversations to foster understanding within and across cultures. These important conversations support one of our areas of focus, peacebuilding and conflict prevention.

During Peacebuilding and Conflict Prevention Month in February, you can get involved in these efforts:

§       Join the Rotary Action Group for Peace (RAGFP), which supports clubs’ and districts’ peace-related service efforts by providing technical advice and resources. During 2019-20 alone, the group supported more than 60 projects.

§       Learn about the Rotary Action Group Against Slavery (RAGAS) and Rotary Action Group for Family Safety. These groups focus on protecting children and adults from modern-day slavery, human trafficking, and domestic violence.

§       Start an intercountry committee or a Rotary Friendship Exchange between your district and a district in another country. You can also join or create a Rotary Fellowship. Read stories on how these three programs have proven effective at building peace and promoting international understanding.
