Inter-country Committees and Peace Projects
• ICCs focus on long term relationships between two
countries
• National sections with local expertise in each of the
countries of an ICC are working together on the definition
and implementation of peace and humanitarian projects
and check their long term sustainability.
• Through working together on common hands-on projects,
ICCs can help in creating a climate for mutual
understanding and peace between countries in the same
region and far beyond.
• By including Rotaracters in their activities, ICC can take
action to address the desire for peace of the new
generations.
