BASRAN Baltic Sea RYLAs in 2022, 2023, 2024 with 78 young adults interested in the Baltic Sea and sustainable leadership skills - what a wonderful potential?
A new “Rotaract E-club Baltic Sea”?
In September 2024 the idea was born to start up a “Rotaract Baltic Sea E-club” by inviting the 100 participants of the BASRAN Baltic Sea RYLAs (in 2022, 2023 and 2024) to be charter members. The idea came from Anna König, the Membership Coordinator in Rotary International (Zone 17).
To present the idea and the Rotaract concept the participants of the RYLAs in Germany, Sweden and Denmark (78 persons) from all the eight countries around the Baltic Sea to a webinar on January 18, 2025 with presentations from Rotaractors in different countries around the Baltic Sea.
