Hello everyone,
Two years ago, you registered to attend the Rotary Peace Summit that was held at the Melbourne Convention & Exhibition Centre the day before the 2019 Victorian Mukti District Rotary Conference. The Peace conference was a great success.
It is now my pleasure to invite you to the 2021 The Future of Peace Leadership symposium being held to celebrate the centenary of Rotary in Australia. The program promises to be even more exciting than the 2019 event (see flyer below)
The Future of Peace Leadership webinar will bring together leaders in peace and conflict resolution to provide us with perspectives on challenging global and domestic issues. They will discuss how we can all contribute towards building a more peaceful world.
The symposium will be held online over two half days, the afternoon of Wednesday 21st and the morning of Thursday 22nd April 2021. It will appeal to Rotarians, peace practitioners, students and others.
Registrations are now available via the conference website: https://peaceleadership.org.au/ at only $66.00 per person for the two days.
Speakers will include RI President Holger Knaack, Chair of the Rotary Foundation, PRIP Ravi Ravindran and two Nobel Peace Prize Laureates Dr Jose Ramos-Horta AC and Prof Tilman Ruff AO
Well known ABC Journalist Ali Moore has agreed to facilitate a thought provoking panel discussion titled “ How can we reverse the Doomsday Clock?” Gareth Evans AC, Steve Killelea AM and PRIP Ian Riseley OAM will be on the panel.
You will be able to register for two of the following optional sessions:
- Indigenous reconciliation 2. Family violence 3. Economics and Peace 4. Humanity & Humanitarian aid 5. Business & human rights law 6. What you can do for peace
Another highlight will be the launch of the University of Melbourne’s new Centre for Peacebuilding.
