GSE Team Members have the opportunity to observe their particular vocations as practiced in another country and to share cultural experiences as they travel throughout the host District living with various host families. Most of the expenses of the Exchange, including airfare and room and board in the host District, are paid by the Rotary Foundation and the host District.
Each year through the GSE program, Rotary Clubs throughout the world exchange group study teams made up of a Rotarian Team Leader and four young professional non-Rotarians. The objective of the GSE program is to promote cultural and vocational understanding and to create goodwill among people of different countries. Some past District 6690 exchanges have been made with Italy, Brazil, India, Great Britain, Germany, Japan and Australia.
ANNOUNCEMENTS
Inbound GSE team from District 3620 South Korea will be in our District April and May 2011.
Group Study Exchange 2010/11
Our Rotary District is hosting a Group Study Exchange with district 3620 (South Korea).
Group Study Exchange is one of the most valuable and rewarding Rotary programs, and goes far toward building peace and understanding in the world. It is also one of the very best ways to introduce Rotary to non-Rotarians, many of whom will eventually join Rotary. During their one-month stay, team members will live with local Rotarians, tour their cities, visit their workplaces, experience their culture and cultural events, talk with them about the world and world affairs, and develop life-long friendships and associations.
