Free of charge. The Peace Forum celebrates the relationship of our District and the Kroc School of Peace Studies in creating and sustaining peace in the world. This year's focus is on borders, particularly with Mexico -- and our two Rotary Scholars, Yishak Kassa Tefferi and Jelena Starcevic, will also present their work with border issues.
The Forum will take place at the USD Kroc Institute of Peace & Justice. Coffee, Mexican hot chocolate, pastries and breakfast burritos will be served at 8 am. The program begins promptly at 8:30 am, and will close at 12 noon.
Rotarians, their guests, Rotaractors and Interactors are all welcomed!
