Tony Allchurch, the Rotary Club of Jersey international committee chairman, said that although most Islanders were lucky enough never to have experienced war, the history of the Occupation was well known.
He said that in an increasingly globalised world, Rotary hoped to promote dialogue as the best way to achieve lasting peace.
He said: ‘It is very much an educational organisation that’s trying to train a new generation of young people how to address conflict and bring about peace.’
