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 2008 will be with Rotary District 4130 Mexico and District 2260 Norway.

The GSE team to Mexico will begin April 6th 2008 to May 5th while the team to Norway will travel April 22nd 2008 to May 22. Each team consists of four non-Rotarian business or professional men and women between the ages of 25-40, and a Rotarian team leader.
