RI Representative UN-ESCWA Mission
Mission: Work to enhance Rotary’s visibility within the international community. Rotary International appoints representatives each year to increase awareness and recognition of Rotary's programs, policies, and activities within the international community. Representatives meet regularly with officers and staff from international organizations to: Discuss parallel concerns and potential areas for cooperation. Inform organizations about Rotary programs. Gather information about organizational developments and opportunities for local-level cooperation. Vision: Strengthen relations between RI, District 2450, Rotary Clubs, Rotarians and ESCWA. Goals: The cooperation between the Rotary Clubs of District 2450 and ESCWA can follow up one, some or all of the following clauses in each level: I- On International Level: 1- Seek to acquire a scholarship from Rotary International Institution thru joint funding for 3 months to specialize in a Thai university (Chulalongkorn University in Bangkok) a special three-month course in peace studies, conflict resolution and mediation training aimed at middle and upper-level managers in governments, non-governmental organizations, and private corporations. 2- Link both parties' internet site with each other to enable the visitor to know our goals and joint activities (The Rotary International implemented this according to my request) [http://www.rotary.org/aboutrotary/other_orgs/network.html] 3- Apply for one candidate, within the RI District 2450, as scholar to one of the seven Rotary Centers: The Rotary Foundation has partnered with eight leading universities around the world to establish the Rotary Centers for International Studies in peace and conflict resolution. Each year, Rotary will select up to 60 fellows to study at one of the six Rotary Centers worldwide. The selected Rotary World Peace Fellows will begin two-year master's-level degree programs in conflict resolution, peace studies, and international relations. Each Rotary district may nominate one candidate for the selection process [Almost 500 applications are raised annually].
