  Group Study Exchange Program
Since its inception in 1965, the Group Study Exchange program has provided grants funded by the Rotary Foundation for countless teams of men and women in the early stages of their business and professional careers to travel abroad and share vocational information with the representatives of their respective professions in another country. Team members spend four to six weeks studying the host country’s institutions, economy and culture, while observing how their own professions are practiced abroad. More than 500 exchanges between paired Rotary districts occur each year, advancing the program’s ultimate goal of promoting international understanding, goodwill…..and peace. more details...
