Participants selected for Rotary peace studies program

Rotary International has selected 25 professionals from 15 countries to study in a new program that teaches practical skills surrounding conflict resolution and mediation to leaders from around the world. The Rotary Peace and Conflict Studies Program, a three-month curriculum taught at Chulalongkorn University, Thailand, builds conflict resolution skills for professionals who work in fields involving conflict resolution and mediation.

The program offers an intensive curriculum developed and taught by international and regional experts on peace and conflict studies. It is aimed at mid- to upper-level professionals in governments, non-governmental organizations, private corporations, academia, and media agencies.

Rotary Peace and Conflict Studies Program courses are taught in English. Participants earn a Certificate in Peace and Conflict Studies from Chulalongkorn University and The Rotary Foundation.

Individuals interested in future sessions should contact their local Rotary clubs or email Bangkok.PeaceStudies@rotary.org for more information. Applications are currently being accepted for the January 2008 and succeeding sessions.  Participants are selected twice a year in a globally competitive selection process based on their professional and academic achievements.
