Rotary Day of Peace

Each year on September 21, Rotary joins with peace advocates around the world to observe the United Nations International Day of Peace September 21. The theme this year is: Act Now for a Peaceful World

Rotary clubs and districts implement sustainable projects to bring about positive, lasting change in communities locally and globally. Through our focus on promoting peace, we take a holistic approach to addressing the underlying causes of conflict and building more peaceful societies. To support this goal, we provide education, training, and capacity-building to help understand how to prevent and resolve conflict successfully.
