THE COMMITTEE MEMBERS SEEK TO EDUCATE THEMSELVES USING THE MANY TOOLS, PROGRAMS, AND VIDEOS AVAILABLE FROM THE RAGFP, ROTARY INTERNATIONAL AND THE INSTITUTE OF ECONOMICS AND PEACE. THEY THEN SHARE THEIR KNOWLEDGE IN THE CLUB SO THAT MEMBERS CAN SEE THAT EVERY PROJECT WHICH THEY UNDERTAKE HAS A PEACE ELEMENT.*RAGFP CHAPTERS: RAGFP CHAPTERS SERVE AS REGIONAL HUBS THAT ADVANCE PEACEBUILDING THROUGH LOCALLY DRIVEN INITIATIVES, COLLABORATION, AND ENGAGEMENT WITHIN ROTARY'S GLOBAL NETWORK. CHAPTERS BRING TOGETHER ROTARIANS, ROTARACTORS, AND PARTNERS TO DESIGN AND IMPLEMENT PROJECTS THAT RESPOND TO THE SPECIFIC NEEDS OF THEIR COMMUNITIES, WHILE REMAINING CONNECTED TO THE BROADER MISSION OF RAGFP.THROUGH REGULAR ACTIVITIES, EVENTS, AND PARTNERSHIPS, CHAPTERS PLAY A KEY ROLE IN STRENGTHENING THE VISIBILITY AND IMPACT OF ROTARY'S PEACEBUILDING EFFORTS AT THE REGIONAL LEVEL.

THEY ARE OPEN TO ALL ENGAGED IN ROTARY'S PEACE ECOSYSTEM AND PROVIDE A VALUABLE PLATFORM FOR NETWORKING, PROMOTING PEACEBUILDER CLUBS AND RAGFP CHAPTERS, AND WELCOMING NEW MEMBERS INTO THE RAGFP COMMUNITY.*PEACE PARK AT THE ROTARY INTERNATIONAL CONVENTION IN CALGARY, CANADA (2025): THE PEACE PARK SERVED AS A VIBRANT COMMUNITY SPACE FOR CONNECTION, LEARNING, AND ENGAGEMENT FOR PEACE-MINDED PARTICIPANTS ATTENDING THE ROTARY INTERNATIONAL CONVENTION IN CALGARY.THE PEACE PARK IS DESIGNED TO:1.
