Our international work helps our network broaden their perspectives, build global connections, and contribute to solutions that address challenges on a worldwide scale.
Rotaract International
Rotaract is a global network that brings People of Action together to create meaningful change in their local communities, around the world, and within themselves.
As part of an international network spanning over 180 countries, Rotaract Great Britain and Ireland plays an active role by working closely with Rotary International and fellow Rotaract organisations to strengthen connections and deliver impact and opportunities both locally and internationally.
Our international work supports projects and partnerships that respond to global challenges, while creating opportunities for members to engage in international service projects, learn from different cultures, and build lasting relationships across borders.

As part of the European Rotaract community, we work alongside Rotaract organisations from across the continent to strengthen international friendships and promote collaboration. Our network can take part in European meetings, conferences, cultural exchanges and joint service projects that bring together people from different countries and backgrounds.
These opportunities encourage the sharing of ideas, inspire innovative approaches to service, and help Rotaractors develop a broader understanding of the communities and cultures that make up Europe.

REM Transylvania
Thursday 28th - Sunday 31st January 2027
Nestled in the heart of Transylvania, Cluj-Napoca is a city where cobblestone streets whisper centuries-old secrets and Gothic spires pierce the misty Carpathian sky. Known as the unofficial capital of Transylvania, this enchanting city offers the perfect backdrop for our REM Conference - a place where history and mystery intertwine with cutting-edge innovation.
EUCO Napoli
Wednesday 14th - Sunday 20th April 2027
More information coming soon.
The Board’s Experience Director, Michael Mordecai, also acts as the formal Country Representative for Rotaract Clubs and Rotaractors within our districts as part of their membership with the European Rotaract Information Centre (ERIC).
"I've always believed that Rotaract brings together shared attitudes in volunteering. Everyone wants to help and everyone wants to contribute in one way or another. As Country Representative, I believe ERIC has the ability to bring together alternative perspectives and cultures, whilst working together for the same "do-goodery" cause. I will do everything in my power to listen and maintain such a collaborative network."
