This is an exciting chance to meet International Rotarians virtually to develop new friendships, learn different cultures and exchange ideas for service projects and grants from your own home or office. The first meeting will be on Zoom in late March.

 

If you are interested in participating contact Dee Eng, District 7430 Friendship Exchange Chair, 610-428-3355

 

Our District produced a Rotary Peace Fellow this past year and we’re looking to repeat that success in the current application round. We are seeking candidates for either a master’s degree or a certificate in peace and development studies at one of the seven Rotary Peace Centers, located at leading universities around the world. The fully funded Rotary Peace Fellowship, which covers tuition and living expenses, increases the capacity of existing leaders to prevent and resolve conflict by offering academic training, field experience, and professional networking.

 

Qualified candidates must:

 

▪ Have three years of related work experience for the master’s program (five years for the Duke program)

▪ Have five years of related work experience for the certificate program and be able to explain how their plan to promote peace aligns with Rotary’s mission (Candidates for Makerere University must either be from Africa, have worked in Africa, or work with African communities or initiatives outside the continent.)

▪ Be proficient in English

▪ Have a bachelor’s degree

▪ Demonstrate leadership skills

▪ Have a strong commitment to cross-cultural understanding and peace

 

Applications for the 2022-23 academic term need to be submitted by May 15, 2021. If you know someone who might be a great candidate for this fellowship, please contact Bill Hunter, Scholarship Coordinator.
