Rotary World Affairs Seminar - Peace Building : Creating Lasting Change

Evelina (left) Jorja (centre) Holly (Right)

In June 2025 three students, Eveline Locmele, (Clifton RC), Jorja Woolston (Pershore RC) and Holly Bisson (Monmouth RC) flew from Bristol to Dublin then onto Chicago for the experience of a lifetime when on behalf of the District they attended the Rotary Youth World Affairs Seminar at Carroll University, Wisconsin, USA.

This opportunity was made possible thanks to the generosity of our district District and their three sponsoring

Rotary Clubs, Monmouth, Clifton and Pershore.

The event which had over fifteen hundred students attending from around the world was an opportunity to explore the subject of ‘Peacebuilding and Creating Lasting Change’.

Current Youth lead and DGE, Lucy Thornton, who took over the role of coordinator for this event from Past District Governor Paul Charter (who sadly passed away this year) was the key coordinator for the District and was responsible with the clubs for interviewing the candidates.

Each student has, since returning from the event, given a presentation to their sponsoring club which has been well received by their members.

Our district is the only UK district to sponsor students for this amazing event, and it is intended that this will continue for 2026. If you club might be interested in sponsoring a student, then please contact Lucy Thornton for further details via lucythornton2004@gmail.com

Source of Life Project

Our Immediate Past District Governor Drewe Lacey championed this partnership with groups such as The Friends of the River Wye and The Wye Usk Foundation.
Rotary Clubs are reinforcing the call for volunteers for citizen science work in the Wye Valley and provide financial support for the work being done.
