OFFERING AN OLIVE LEAF- CELEBRATING - (PeMa) - (PRACTITIONERS, EDUCATORS, MEDIATORS, ADVOCATES)
Thank you to Nevine Yassa, Chair of Rotary District 7070 Peace Committee and her team for an outstanding Rotary District 7070 World Understanding and Peace Day Symposium with music, art and incredible speakers on Thursday February 23, 2023 . The Symposium included Rotarians from all over the world including two Past Rotary International Presidents: Wilf Wilkinson and Gary Huang. We heard from Nobel Prize Winner Ouided Bouchamaoui who will join us all the way from Tunis, different entities that Rotary International is collaborating with to promote peace such as Mediators without Borders, The Institute for Economics & Peace, Rotary Inter-Country Committees (Rotary ICC), Chris Offer on the Rotary Peace Centres, John Currie on Honouring Indigenous Peoples, and even the Interact Club of Earl Haig Collegiate, right here in District 7070. It was truly an evening where we learned how Rotary is collaborating with these different entities to extend peace and understanding around the world......
If you missed the event, you can see it on the Rotary District 7070 Youtube Channel . https://youtu.be/fsMi8JJHfrs
Hence, we saw the 4 ROLES (PeMa) as Rotarians in promoting peace …PeMa… yes you guessed it right and how we have been and will continue to strive to achieve.
