Rotary Peace Fellows visit Canberra

Each year, Rotary selects up to 100 individuals from around the world to receive fully funded academic fellowships at one of our peace centers. These fellowships cover tuition and fees, room and board, round-trip transportation, and all internship and field-study expenses. Two types of peace fellowships are available: a Master's degree at premier universities in fields related to peace and conflict prevention and resolution and Professional development certificate for experienced professionals working in peace-related fields who want to enhance their professional skills, there is a three-month program in peace and conflict prevention and resolution at Chulalongkorn University in Thailand.

In May, the cohort of Peace Fellows who are currently studying at the University of Queensland visited Canberra for a programme of cultural and Professional visits. A special dinner was held where local Rotarians were able to meet the Fellows and hear about their experiences and plans. Despite the wind, the visit was a great success.
