The purpose of a Group Study Exchange is to promote international understanding and goodwill through person-to-person contact.  Team members share personal knowledge of our area and the experience the customs, vocations and lifestyles of the country they visit.  While abroad, team members stay in Rotarian's homes and have the opportunity to meet their business and professional counterparts in the host country.  They will also give presentations to Rotary Clubs and other groups about their trip experience.

The Rotary Foundation pays for round-trip airline tickets and local Rotarians in the host country provide meals, lodging and group travel in their district.  Team members are only responsible for their personal, incidental expenses. 

Men and women interested in applying should be employed full-time n a recognized business or profession and they should be between the ages of 25 and 40.  Applicants must live and be employed within Rotary District 5690.
