Please join us on Saturday, April 5th for the Duke-UNC Rotary Peace Center’s 22nd Annual Spring Conference. Our theme this year will be Stories of Peace: Centering Community for Collective Transformation. Class 22 Rotary Peace Fellows will present their research, exploring new ways of thinking about peacebuilding, international development, and conflict transformation in many regions of the world.
The conference will take place at the FedEx Global Education Center on UNC-Chapel Hill’s campus from 8:30am to 3:00pm. Doors will open at 8:00am, and attendees are encouraged to check in and view a special exhibition of research posters created by Class 23 fellows as part of the Peace Innovation Showcase at Duke University last December. Lunch and other refreshments will be provided throughout the day.
If you are traveling from out of town and need to book a hotel room, for your convenience, we have reserved blocks of hotel rooms at discounted rates. Information on how to reserve one of these rooms can be found here.
Can’t attend in person? We offer a livestream and Zoom webinar for those who would like to participate in our conference remotely. Those that register here to attend virtually will receive a link and instructions on how to attend in advance of the conference.
