GSE to Finland, District 1380
Posted by Paul Bossert
Group Study Exchange applications for Team Leader and Team Members to Finland are due July 31st. The outgoing visit to Finland will be from March 16th to April 16th, 2012. If you are interested in being a team leader and would like more information, please feel free to contact Andrea Norris, GSE co-chair for the outgoing team, at 785-766-7854 or asnorris@earthlink.net.
The team leader will be a Rotarian selected by interview with the GSE Committee. As with the team members, expenses of the team leader are paid by Rotary and Rotarians and the team leader will stay with Rotarians during the visit. It is a unique opportunity to experience the life and culture of another country.
We are also seeking applications for team members for the exchange. Team members are non-Rotarians between 25 and 40 who have worked for two years in their chosen profession and live or work in District 5710. The program offers an opportunity to develop skills in leadership, team building, and problem solving, as well as to increase international experience and understanding. Team member applications are also due July 31. Although this year the incoming team from Australia was a Vocational Training Team (VTT), the exchange with Finland will be a traditional GSE, so applicants from all vocations are welcome.
