Environment
Presenter:
Ludwig Kalthoff, Environmental Sustainability Rotary Action Group, Germany
Our future depends on our common efforts to strengthen the conservation and protection of natural resources and advancing ecological sustainability.
In this breakout session we present and discuss a variety of projects to further these goals.
- Environment & Ethics
- Water & Plastic
- Climate & Energy
- Biodiversity & Sustainibility
Mother & Child Health
Presenter:
Irene Hösli, Head of Department for Obstetrics and Antenatal Care, University Hospital Basel
In many countries mothers still risk their lives giving birth and millions of children die each year from treatable, preventable causes. Rotary’s projects ensure sustainability by empowering the local community to take ownership of health care training programs.
Listen to experts in this field and share your ideas and projects about these topics.
- Empowerments of girls
- Reduction of maternal mortality
- Calmed approach & midwives
- Reproductive health
Peace
Presenter:
Sibylle Ruprecht, President Rotary Action Group for Peace, Switzerland/Liechtenstein
As a humanitarian organization, peace is a cornerstone of Rotary’s mission. Our projects and Peace Fellows serve as a catalyst and resource for promoting and sustaining positive, peace-enhancing communication and relationship skills among all people.
During this breakout session the latest actions by Rotarian groups will be discussed and future projects promoted.
