THE
GROUP STUDY EXCHANGE PROGRAM
Group Study Exchange (GSE) in 2011-12 will be with D-4310, in Sao
Paulo State, Brazil. The team will depart on April 28th, 2012.
Recruiting for the team leader will begin in August.
Group Study Exchange is one of the programs funded by the Rotary
Foundation. Its purpose is to promote understanding and goodwill
throughout the world. Group Study Exchange team members travel in a
group of four with a Rotarian Team Leader.
Through the program, teams of young professionals from two different
countries exchange visits. For four weeks, team members experience the
way of life, customs, and vocational practices of another country, while
sharing information about their homeland. The purpose of the Group Study
Exchange program is to promote international understanding and goodwill
through personal connection. While abroad, team members stay in
Rotarians' homes and have the opportunity to meet their professional
counterparts. They also give presentations to Rotary clubs and other
groups about their home country.
The Rotary Foundation pays for round-trip airfare, and Rotary club
members in the host country provide meals, lodging, and group travel in
their district. Team members pay for personal and incidental expenses.
The GSE Team Members are between the ages of 25 and 40, and are
employed full-time in a business or profession. Team members must live
or be employed in Rotary District 5190 (which includes north-eastern
California and northern Nevada). A team member cannot by directly
related to a Rotarian, and must be a citizen of the United States.
Rotaractors ARE eligible to apply.
Team members are provided orientations prior to their departure. There
is also a requirement that presentations about their journey are given
to their home communities upon their return to the U.S.
