Peacebuilding Initiative in Myanmar

Join us for a compelling presentation on an ambitious new peacebuilding initiative in Myanmar led by the Conflict and Resilience Research Institute Canada (CRRIC), with support from Smartsettle Resolutions Inc. The project builds on a grant from Global Affairs Canada (GAC) and aims to foster Track II diplomacy and long-term stability through innovative tools and collaborative engagement.

Presenting live will be our own Dr. Ernest Thiessen, founder of Smartsettle, with online support from Dr. Kawser Ahmed and David Newman, KC, Rotarians from Winnipeg and key leaders of the project. They’ll introduce the concept of a Myanmar “Mini-Marshall Plan” and share how Smartsettle’s technology is being used to simulate a multi-stakeholder peace negotiation involving ethnic groups, the military, civil society, and the international community.

The Myanmar team is seeking to supplement the GAC funding with a Rotary Global Grant in order to amplify their impact. 

Don’t miss this opportunity to see how Rotary can play a meaningful role in advancing peace through innovation and global collaboration.
