Peace education programs merge

The professional development center at Chulalongkorn University in Bangkok, Thailand, has joined the Rotary Centers for International Studies in peace and conflict resolution program.             

The Rotary Center at Chulalongkorn offers a three-month professional development curriculum geared to mid- to upper-level professionals, while the other Rotary Centers offer 15- to 24-month master's degree programs.

There are seven Rotary Centers at eight universities around the world teaching Rotary World Peace Fellows about peace and conflict resolution. Each year, up to 110 fellowships (60 master’s degree and 50 professional development certificate) are awarded on a competitive basis.

Alumni are working in grassroots and local nongovernmental organizations, national governments, the military, law enforcement, and international organizations such as the United Nations, World Bank, International Organization for Migration, and Organization of American States.

Secure a more peaceful future

Rotarians are needed to reach out to candidates for Rotary World Peace Fellowships -- individuals who demonstrate a commitment to peace and conflict resolution through academic, volunteer, and professional experience, as well as outstanding leadership abilities and high academic achievement.
