As we continue to make the Rotary experience inclusive for members and participants of all backgrounds, it’s important to embrace our differences and understand where we have privilege in comparison to others. For example, have you ever felt scared to hold hands with your romantic partner? Or, has someone assumed automatically that you are not from the country you live in?
Our colleagues in Rotary International's Europe/Africa Office created a video, to help us realize and understand these differences, so they don’t become potential barriers for prospective members. Click here - or on the image at right - to share this four-minute video during upcoming trainings and/or seminars, or to watch it with your club, to better understand how your members’ life experiences might be different from one another.
Afterwards, take the opportunity to discuss ways to accommodate these differences so that everyone feels welcomed and included.
