My name is Freddie Campbell and I am a Global Grant Scholar taking
my Masters in Conflict Prevention and Peacebuilding in the historic
city of Durham, England.
 
 
I have thoroughly enjoyed my studies thus far, and have had the opportunity to meet incredible people from all around the world. I have also been able to explore the United Kingdom in all of its architectural and momentous beauty.

Program highlights:
  • Lecturers from a variety of academic backgrounds as well as practitioners
  • Conflict Mediation Module - with a focus on gender sensitivity
  • Capstone Exercise - Humanitarian Intervention Simulation in which each student was given a different role to play in a complex emergency setting in the Dadaab refugee camp in Kenya 2011
  • Involvement in various Rotary events and initiatives…
Myself and a fellow Global Grant Scholar studying Defence, Development and Diplomacy have been speaking at various clubs around the North East of England.
 
 
My host club and I worked to support the Durham University TedX event. The theme is “Things Left Unsaid,” and the talks will question the social norms and boundaries
 
In conjunction with another local club and Durham students, my host club and I have been working to establish a sustainable Rotaract Club at Durham University.
 
 
I would like to express my sincere gratitude to the Rotary Club of Bismarck Far West for sponsoring me on this once in a lifetime journey. This experience has and will continue to shape me as a globally minded leader working to take collaborative action and impact lasting change.
 
Sincerely,
 
Freddie Campbell
