TITLE | 78
WELCOME TO THE WORLD OF
ROTARY FRIENDSHIP EXCHANGE
HO DOES IT WORK?
WHAT IS A FRIENDSHIP EXCHANGE.’
• It is where a group of 10 or 12 Rotarians visit another country and live in the homes of other Rotarians.
• The host District then shows the group the best of the District.
• It can be termed as a ‘Group Study Exchange for older Rotarians
HOW DO WE MAKE IT WORK?
It can be arranged through this District with a participating District in another country where formal arrangements are made approximately 12 months in advance:-
Or it can be impromptu through friendships that have been developed over the years.
WHAT VALUE TO YOU GET OUT OF SUCH AN EXCHANGE?
The value is great in the following areas:-
• You experience another culture with people who have the same goals of service that you have.
• The cost is not as great as that for a planned holiday in another country.
• The friendships you make, particularly as you become a host to a group visiting from the District you have visited.
• An opportunity for more international projects.
INTERNATIONAL DESTINATIONS
In many cases Rotarians attending an International Convention take part in a Friendship Exchange.
Next year the Convention is in Atlanta, Georgia USA.
The following year the Convention is in Toronto, Canada.
Both destinations offer an opportunity to take part in a Friendship Exchange – think it over and get in touch with your District Co-ordinators.
