The Oregon Peace Trail is a modern rendition of the historic Oregon Trail, focused on building a peaceful world. The initiative will establish a network of “Peace on Earth Zones” (POE Zones) along a 296-mile corridor from Portland to Ashland, connecting communities and promoting peace through Rotary Clubs.

The Oregon Peace Trail is built upon the Peace Game, a transformative process that empowers individuals to practice peacebuilding.

1. Involves seven peace practices.
2. Encourages participants to take Peace Actions in their daily lives.
3. Has already inspired over 1,200 Peace Actions by Rotarians.

Peace on Earth Zones are community-based initiatives that apply the practices of the Peace Game to foster collaboration and address local challenges. Rotary Clubs will play a crucial role in establishing and nurturing POE Zones within their communities.

The Oregon Peace Trail initiative:

1. Makes peace compelling, inspiring, and practical for Rotarians and their communities.
2. Nourishes and brings out the best in Rotarians as peace leaders.
3. Serves as a model for scaling peace across Rotary International and beyond.
