Friendship, action, impact – Welcome to Rotary Ronse–Renaix!

Here you will find information about our social actions and how you can help us achieve them by participating in activities organized by our club or through donations.

During the 2025-2026 Rotary year, the Rotary Club of Ronse-Renaix is ​​organizing a series of conferences dedicated to women, their role, their career paths, and their impact on society.

As a mixed club, our assembly reflects Rotary's commitment to diversity and inclusion. We believe that women, just like men, are essential agents of positive change, both locally and globally.

This is why this program will highlight women in several facets: leadership, science, the arts, history, politics, human rights, etc. Through these portraits and presentations, the program is also an invitation to dialogue and collaboration, highlighting how women and men are joining forces to build a more just, equitable, and inclusive society.
