About

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, team members experience the host country’s culture and institutions, observe how their vocations are practiced abroad, develop personal and professional relationships, and exchange ideas.

In a typical four-week tour, team members participate in five full days of vocational visits, 15 to 20 club presentations, 10 to 15 formal visits and social events, two to three days at the district conference, three to four hours per day of cultural and site tours, and three to four hours per day of free time with host families.

In May 2015, Rotary District 7390 from South Central Pennsylvania will be exchanging teams with  Rotary District 2240 which encompasses both Czech and Slovak Republics.

If you are interested in being a team member for a future exchange, contact your local Rotary Club so they can nominate you or contact the Rotary District 7390 GSE Committee. – See more at: http://www.rotary7390.org/Page/group-study-exchange
