Rotaract & Model United Nations Youth Forum - Luke Addison

Wed, Apr 13th 2016 at 7:30 pm - 8:30 pm

National Rotaract UK Chairman Elect Luke Addison share his experience of attending Youth Forums


LUKE ADDISON

This week the incoming UK Rotaract Chairman Luke Addison speaks to us about his experiences in attending Youth Summits around the world.

Luke Addison

Luke joined Rotaract because he believes passionately in connecting with other young people who think the same as him, but also learning so much from the ones who don’t. There’s no other youth organisation which brings such diverse groups of active young people together, and with the support of Rotary it’s inevitable that we’ll change the world.

He thinks that Rotary has the potential to be [and in his opinion IS] the most influential and inspiring organisation for young people, Luke says everyone needs Rotary to support, encourage and facilitate opportunities for for young people. He is so pleased that he became involved, and part of the Rotary family.

Luke also attended a "PeaceJam" Conference In Monaco at which he facilitated a drama workshop for teenagers on Conflict Resolution and also met and engaged in discussion with Nobel Peace leader Archbishop Desmond Tutu and subsequently establishing a PeaceJam institute at the University; organising the first conference in March 2015 attended by around 80 young people from around the world as well as the Nobel Peace Laureate Jody Williams.
