Peace Project Booths

One of the highlights of the Rotaract UN Days is the Peace Project Booths evening. However, this is not your usual country booth setup. Instead of traditional cultural displays, you will have the opportunity to present a peace project from your country.

All presented projects will be scored by a jury based on their impact, feasibility, innovation, and potential for implementation with the UN institutions. This is a chance to showcase your project or to bring your ideas to life on a global stage!
