One of the most popular and rewarding programs of The Rotary Foundation in the Group Study Exchange.

Since the first exchange between districts in California and Japan in 1965, the program has provided educational experiences for about 25,000 business and professional men and women who have served on about 5,500 teams.

This year, the GSE program paired our local Rotary district 5450 with Rotary district 1420 South Finland /Estonia to send and receive study teams. The Inbound team to be arriving in Denver April 5th and leaving May 3.

One of the attractive features of GSE is the opportunity for the visiting team members to meet, talk and live with Rotarians and their families in a warm spirit of friendship and hospitality. Although the original Group Study Exchanges were male only, in recent years, teams include both men and women.

In addition to learning about another country as the team visits farms, schools, industrial plants, professional offices and governmental establishments, the GSE teams serve as ambassadors of goodwill. They interpret their home nation to host Rotarians and others in the communities in which they visit. Many of the personal contacts blossom into lasting friendships.

Truly, the Group Study Exchange program has provided Rotarians with one of its most enjoyable, practical and meaningful ways to promote world understanding.

“Rotary is without reality until men translate it into their lives and the lives of others. In short, you and I are Rotary.”
