Rotary Friendship Exchange is Rotary's international
exchange program for Rotarians and their families. Friendship Exchange
provides participants the opportunity to experience other cultures by
staying in the homes of Rotarians in other countries. The program aims to
advance international understanding and peace through personal contact
across borders while developing interclub relationships for fellowship and
service projects.
There are three types of Friendship Exchanges:
Visitor Program
Individual Rotarians, who may be accompanied by family
members, spend a few days in the home of a Rotarian in another country.
Team Program
Rotarian couples, typically four to six, visit several
communities in a host district for up to one month.
Uni-vocational
Host and guest Rotarians of the same occupation observe
how their job is done in other countries.
