This year’s World Peace & Understanding Dinner will be interactive, and will be led by youth and PeaceJam.  Young people will be working hand-in-hand with Rotarians to develop new projects that can bring peace to our local communities within the context of Rotary's Six Areas of Focus.  Together, we will develop these projects and then go back to our communities and implement them as a team.
 
We will also be challenged to log ten thousand acts of peace as Rotary District 7930. These will be part of the PeaceJam One Billion Acts of Peace campaign, which has been nominated 8 times for the Nobel Peace Prize.
