Group Study Exchange |
| |
 Group Study Exchange (GSE) is one of the programs of the Rotary Foundation which pairs two Rotary Districts in different countries. Rotarians in each district select, train and exchange teams of non-Rotarians led by a Rotarian Team Leader. Each team member lives with the families of Rotarians over a period of four to six weeks in the host district. During the exchange, each team member will have the opportunity to experience the culture of another country as the team tours numerous communities and locals within the receiving Rotary District. The objective is to provide a cultural and vocational exchange that brings the peoples of two countries and cultures together in friendship and understanding.
Learn more about Group Study Exchange on the RI web site. Team member or Rotarian team leader applicants should thoroughly review this information.

Non-Rotarian women and men between the ages of 25 and 40! This Rotary year our exchange will be with district 2090. This district is quite interesting as it is covering 2 countries with a different language, culture, history and religion.
Abruzzo, Marche, Molise and Umbria are located in the central part of Italy. Albania is located across the Adriatic.
The Apennines are on the west and the Adriatic on the east of the Italian regions. Abruzzo has been developing rapidly especially in mechanical engineering, transportation and telecommunications. Urbino, a world heritage site, is located in Marche. Food industry and tourist industry are important in Molise and Umbria.

Hello 6150 Rotarians,
I am the Ambassadorial Scholar sent from this district to Varanasi, U.P. I've been in India for almost six months now, and would love the chance to see some folks from home. If someone on the GSE team could contact me (email: mcwilliams.laura@gmail.com), I would be able to come to Hyderabad for a few days. Or, if your team is planning a trip north to Varanasi, do let me know. Hope to see you soon.
Regards,
Laura McWilliams |
