Chair of Peacebuilding Group
The Peace Building Group is composed of a group of Rotarians committed to promoting peace. The meeting often includes a guest speaker and is held on the 1st Thursday of the month 6.00pm to 7.30pm. Currently we are holding meetings via Zoom until Covid restrictions are lifed to permit face to face meetings. There is no cost to attend. Drinks can be purchased at the bar. Meals are available from the bar for those who wish to stay after the meeting.
The Rotary Club of Sydney Peace Building Group is composed of a group of Rotarians committed to promoting peace. Our vision is a peaceful world, where peace is maintained at a local community, regional, national and international levels. Peace and conflict prevention/resolution includes a wide range of issues from a micro-level of street violence, domestic violence and cyber bullying through to issues of a macro-level such as armed conflict between nations, ethnic groups and war. One of the aims of the committee is to engage newer, younger members and those with backgrounds from troubled countries. The members of the group are keen to involve other interested Sydney based Rotarians and community members.
