GROUP STUDY EXCHANGE
2010-2011
The Rotary Foundation's Group Study Exchange (GSE) program is a unique cultural and vocational exchange opportunity for business people and professionals between the ages of 25 and 40 who are in the early stages of their careers. The program provides travel grants for teams to exchange visits in paired areas of different countries. For four to six weeks, a GSE team (typically 4 non-Rotarians, accompanied by a Rotarian team leader) experiences the host country's culture and institutions, observes how their vocations are practiced abroad, develops personal and professional relationships, and exchanges ideas. In a typical four-week tour, applicants participate in five days of vocational visits, 15 to 20 Rotary Club presentations, 10 to 15 formal visits and social events, two to three days at the district conference or assembly, three to four hours per day of cultural and site tours, and three to four hours per day of free time with host families. For each team member, the Rotary Foundation provides the most economical roundtrip airline ticket between the home and host countries. Rotarians in the host area provide for meals, lodging, and group travel within their district.
In May 2011, District 6740 will
send a team to District 1640, Normandie, France, from May 29th to June 19th,
2011. District 6740 will host a team from District 1640 the following year, from April 15th to May 13th, 2012. Please note, due to budgetary concerns, future exchanges will be on a two year cycle. Encourage your club members to recruit team members for this GSE to Normandy, France, District 1640. Group Study Exchange Team Member Application Form
Group Study Exchange Team Leader Application Form Applications are due ASAP
