Rolling Deadline

The Rotary Foundation announces a call for applications for the annual January and July Rotary Peace and Conflict Studies (RPCS) Program sessions. The RPCS Program was established to provide professionals from around the world with the opportunity to be trained in conflict resolution and mediation strategies. The programme is designed to help participants become better equipped to prevent and resolve conflict and to foster policies and create settings that ensure peace worldwide. Offered in English, the programme is intended for mid- to upper-level professionals in governments, non-governmental organisations, and private corporations.


The RPCS Program is a three-month professional development programme for up to 30 participants, housed at Chulalongkorn University in Bangkok, Thailand. The curriculum is focused on the experience of both participants and lecturers, intending to balance theoretical and practical learning.

Application is solicited through the local and district Rotary organisations. Individuals should contact their local organisation.
