Quote from a master’s degree Rotary Peace Fellow: “As a Peace Fellow, I am also given the opportunity to connect with Rotary’s global network of professionals who embody high ethical standards and the passion to help the other people. All these opportunities bolster my personal commitment to what Rotarians are known for: Service Beyond Self.” Quotes from a professional development certificate Rotary Peace Fellow: “This course is a rare and valuable opportunity for all of us in the peace community, due to the sheer presence of distinguished experts and knowledgeable participants. The socialization activities among participants around the world automatically leads to the establishment of a peace-building network which will strengthen future cooperation, understanding, and mutual respect.” “Returning to Afghanistan after the program, I saw immediately how the Rotary Peace and Conflict curriculum enhanced my work there. Whether it was making better decisions about how to do aid work, mediating between NGO employees, or strategizing new projects, the impact from my three months of training had given me a professional perspective and wealth of knowledge."
