It is an occasion to remind Rwandans and the global community that it is our collective responsibility to prevent reoccurrence and resist people denying and trivializing Genocide.  The youth should also take the front lead to distance themselves from people luring them into such destructive acts,\u201d she noted. <\/p>\n<p>Rugera explained that Rotary Club holds different talks featuring historians so as to give the youth chance to learn from history and collaboratively brainstorm on best ways to prevent Genocide ideology.  <\/p>\n<p>As part of ongoing capacity building initiatives, Rotary Club also provides scholarship to university graduates to attend peace restoration and conflict management courses<br \/>\nRugera urged the youth to uphold peace, strive for unity and stand against whatever tends to drag them into ethnic discrimination.  <\/p>\n<p>The President of Rotaract Club SFB Kigali, Murungi Mariam has also highlighted that learning from history helps to know the truth and requested colleagues to speak with one voice and resist propagandists misinterpreting history.  <\/p>\n<p>Rotary Club International was established 116 years ago.
