Testimonials
in reference to “Empowering Peacebuilders” (EP) Workshop Series
“Empowering Peacebuilders” (EP) is one of the most wonderful projects I have ever participated in during my membership in the Rotaract club. I became a participant by accident, but I continued on purpose. The people I met there were the main reason I looked forward to each subsequent session. I wish there was a way for every person on this planet to go through this program, because I guarantee everyone would take something new and useful with them. EP helped me build better communication skills and learn to listen to life around me. I will continue to apply the knowledge and cultivate the peace I gained there.

This “Empowering Peacebuilders” online series helps you to learn to Speak Honestly, Without Judging Others. It also features Communication of Trust, Openness, and Compassion with Ourself and Others – which we all need. This program helped me personally…with my family, my friends, and work colleagues. I recommend this program to all Rotary Peace Fellows – through RAGFP.

Rotary Peace Fellow, Ghana, Africa
“After completing this program, I learned to mentally pause, before responding to everyone. This has helped me understand my own personal needs. I value being acknowledged as an equal, and the skills that I learned are helping me value myself and others. I believe programs like this, introduced in schools at an early age, will definitely help to create a more Peaceful World – going forward.
Smita Vakhankar
Rotarian & RAGFP member, India
II’ve experienced parts of this training in isolation through my many classes and 4 college degrees throughout the years. Never has it all been put together in a useable manner for me so I can put it into practice. Good teachers can make it all clear and put things into perspective so we can understand them. When that happens, learning is beautiful!
Joe S
High School Principal
What I enjoyed best about this course was sharing the learning space with a community of Rotarians, striving to create a culture of Peace – around the world. I learned, through this Nonviolent Communication (NVC) series, is to create “an inner space” – and to share more Compassionately, with Others. I also learned the importance to Honor & Respect our Universal Needs – and how they align with the Rotary 4-Way Test.

“This training is a gift that gives us Peace skills that we can learn, practice, and share with others in our communities. To me, it’s like the proverb, “Teach a person to fish…”
