A group study exchange promotes international understanding and goodwill through person-to-person contact, according to Rotary’s press release. While abroad, team members stay in Rotarians’ homes and have the opportunity to meet their professional counterparts. They will also give presentations to Rotary Clubs and other groups about our home country and local area.
The Rotary Foundation provides round-trip airfare and local Rotarians in the host country provide meals, lodging and group travel in their district. Team members are responsible only for their personal and incidental expenses.
