| Group Study Exchange - Overview |
 |
 |
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. (see GSE Brochure)
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.
This year's GSE exchange will be with District 3780, from Quezon City, Philippines. Their team will be arriving from the Phillipines in early April 2008. Our team will be going to Quezon City in the Phillipines in March – their District Conference is scheduled for March 13 – 15.
