ROTARY INTERNATIONAL FOUNDATION
GROUP STUDY EXCHANGE
DISTRICT 5020
The Group Study Exchange Program of the Rotary Foundation International is an
educational program that promises international understanding through organized
travel and personal contact. The program provides travel grants for teams of
professional men and women between 25 and 40 to exchange visits between paired
areas in different countries. For four to five weeks, team members study the
host country’s institutions and ways of life, observe their own professions as
practiced abroad, develop personal and professional relationships, and exchange
ideas.
The exchanges for 2006-07 will be with Rotary District 3630, South Korea and
District 4470, Brazil.
The GSE team to South Korea will begin April 8th 2007 to May 5th while the team to Brazil
will travel May 2007. Each team consists of four non-Rotarian business or
professional men and women between the ages of 25-40, and a Rotarian team
leader.
We are very pleased to introduce our GSE Teams for 2007
