Group Study Exchange
The Group Study Exchange (GSE) program of The Rotary Foundation is a unique cultural and vocational exchange opportunity between paired areas in different countries for young business and professional non-Rotarians between the ages of 25-40 and a Rotarian team leader. For four to six weeks, team members study the host country’s institutions and ways of life, observe their own vocations as practiced abroad, develop personal and professional relationships, and exchange ideas.
Purpose: Promote participation in the GSE by informing the District Clubs of the purpose and goals of GSE as well as making descriptive materials and applications available. Information about destinations, time of visit and deadlines for application should be provided. Oversee the selection and training of a qualified team leader and team members.
This year we are exchanging with Nigeria.
