Be Inspired. Get Building. Wage Peace. Reem Ghunaim, the Executive Director of the Rotary Action Group for Peace, presents How to Build and Spark Sustainable Peace within your Community. This workshop illustrates the Institute for Economics and Peace's 8 Pillars of Positive Peace through successful peace projects created by Rotary Clubs all over the globe. During this workshop, you will learn about the eight aspects of Positive Peace and how to implement scientifically-driven strategies into your current and future peacebuilding projects. After a successful pilot presentation at the Rotary International's 2019 Conference in Hamburg, Reem was invited to present her workshop and workbook at GPW19. In addition to her invitation, her workbook will be featured in Rotary International's Positive Peace Academy by the end of the year. Through heartfelt stories, clear logic models, and thoughtful exercises, this workshop will leave you with the tools and confidence to strategically plan your next successful peace project!

Help RAGFP Promote Peacebuilding Grants at Geneva Peace Week

August 16, 2019, By Rotarian Action Group For Peace

We are honored to be invited to participate at the Geneva Peace Week to promote Global Peacebuilding Grants. As you know, Global Grants provide many opportunities for Rotary clubs and districts to advance important causes. Of the different Global Grants available, Peacebuilding projects comprise the fewest number of Global Grants awarded. This isn’t because peacebuilding is less important to Rotarians, but that many Rotarians have difficulty conceptualizing what peace projects actually entail. One of the RAGFP's goals is to address this gap by utilizing peace education and convening with partners to create peace projects in conflict zones and beyond.
