Group Study Exchange
Learn more about this fantastic cross-cultural exchange program coming to Vemrilion!
From www.rotary.org
The Group Study Exchange (GSE) program of The Rotary Foundation is a unique cultural and vocational exchange opportunity for young business and professional men and women between the ages of 25 and 40 and in the early years of their professional lives.
The program provides travel grants for teams to exchange visits between paired areas in different countries. For four to six weeks, team members experience the host country's institutions and ways of life, observe their own vocations as practiced abroad, develop personal and professional relationships, and exchange ideas.
For each team member, The Rotary Foundation provides the most economical round-trip air ticket between the home and host countries. Local Rotarians in the host area provide for meals, lodging, and group travel within their district.
Hosting responsibilities include coordinating homestays and vocational days for the visiting teams and ensuring the teams' comfort and safety during their stay in our district. Our district is expected to provide all meals, lodging, and transportation. Remember to provide access to laundry services as well.
The itinerary for a visiting team must include at least five full days of vocational study and one weekend day and half a weekday per week for free time.
