Class XXIII (2025-2026)

Lorena currently works for Empreeduca Institute in Brazil as a project assistant.

With the Rotary Peace Fellowship, I expect to acquire the necessary skills and knowledge to pursue a career in conflict resolution and be a catalyst for peace. It is not an easy path, and it requires a lot of responsibility, experience and knowledge. Therefore, it is fundamental to keep studying and acquiring the necessary skills.

With this program, I can deepen my skills in analysing the origin, dynamics and resolution of armed conflicts on a scientific basis, understanding its varied expressions.

I see the Rotary Peace Fellowship as a next step in my career, which will provide me the path to join international organisations in order to work for development and peace on a systemic level. Once I finish the master’s program, I will be applying for international organizations and UN agencies, and hopefully as a long term career goal work with international policies.
