Against this backdrop, Rotary International has taken a pioneering role in fostering harmony and unity through its commitment to promoting peace. Youth is our hope for peace. The Youth As Peacebuilders Programme is to educate young people to be advocates of peace, while empowering them to be agents of conflict transformation."
