Promote peace through intercountry committees 

Intercountry committees foster deep friendships and empathy across borders through:

• Cultural exchange. Intercountry committees facilitate dialogue to help everyone better understand the perspectives of people from other parts of the world. These conversations often lead to in-person opportunities such as Rotary Friendship Exchanges so that members can experience one another’s cultures firsthand.
• Joint service activities.Members of intercountry committees collaborate on projects that support communities in both countries.

Intercountry committees play a vital role in fostering empathy, understanding, and international cooperation within Rotary’s global network. Learn how you can team up with them to widen the scope of your project or to make a bigger impact.
