The Group Study Exchange Program of The Rotary Foundation of Rotary International is a unique cultural and vocational
exchange opportunity for young business and professional men and women between the ages of 25 and 40 in the initial years
of their professional life. The program provides travel grants for teams of young participants to exchange visits between
paired areas in different countries. For four to six weeks, team members study the host country's institutions and ways of
life, observe their own vocations as practiced abroad, develop personal and professional relationships, and exchange ideas.
Individuals who participate in this valuable, once-in-a-lifetime experience will return home, not only with new perspectives
and an enlarged vision, but with fresh ideas and an understanding of a nation's culture, commerce and government that can
be invaluable to a country's, and a company's, future. A Group Study Exchange offers the most unique and rewarding skills-building
opportunity and personal growth experience available to young professionals as humanity steps forward to face the
challenges of the 21st century.
This year, the GSE team from USA district 7170 (New York State) is thrilled to be traveling to Brasil district 4500 (northeast
region), during the month of May 2006.
