Rotary Peace Fellowship
Peace is so much more than an absence of war!
“Peace” isn’t just what happens when conflict stops; it’s what happens when people feel safe, respected, and able to live with dignity. True peace includes:
- Emotional peace — a sense of calm, security, and trust.
- Social peace — fairness, justice, and healthy relationships between people.
- Economic peace — stability, opportunity, and freedom from constant worry.
- Inner peace — clarity, balance, and acceptance.
- Community peace — environments where people can thrive, not just survive.
It’s the presence of conditions that allow life to flourish — not just the absence of violence.
Rotary’s Peace Fellowship Program has been training and uniting global leaders working to create lasting peace since 2002. Since that time, our district has trained 17 successful Peace Fellows to date and we have the power/opportunity to send the next generation of changemakers into the world.
Rotary’s extremely competitive Peace Fellowship Program offers a no cost Master’s Degree to up to 10 candidates at each of the five Rotary Peace Centers around the globe annually. (A no cost professional development certificate program, at one of two different Rotary Peace Centers, is also an option.)
