Facilitated Peace Conversation
On May 19th, Richmond Rotary had a 1 hour long facilitated Peace Conversation. Trained facilitators (trained by Mediators Beyond Borders in partnership with Rotary) led the discussion. This was the first of a series of conversations for clubs around the District. The goal is to help clubs address issues within the club and within the community.
The vision is to ultimately build a strong, resilient Rotary Clubs as hubs for peace in communities worldwide

Our chosen topic was "The Impact of COVID and Engagement Moving Forward." In a facilitated conversation by District Chair Gloria Staudt and her team, we had a productive and helpful discussion. In breakout rooms, and then as a larger team as a whole, we discussed what COVID has taught us about ourselves and our community; how COVID has impacted our membership engagement; and what opportunities we see moving forward. Having these discussions will allow us to become more effective peacebuilders within our own clubs, communities, and districts.
