Nonsuch Rotarian leads Delegation to Brazil
Published by Nonsuch Rotary on at 11:17 am.
John Goodhead, a member of Nonsuch Rotary Club, is leading a Group Study Exchange Team to Sao Paulo in Brazil in May.
The Rotary Foundation’s Group Study Exchange (GSE) programme is a unique cultural and vocational exchange opportunity for business people and professionals between the ages of 25 and 40 who are in the early stages of their careers. The programme provides travel grants for teams to exchange visits in paired areas of different countries. For four to six weeks, team members experience the host country's culture and institutions, observe how their vocations are practiced abroad, develop personal and professional relationships, and exchange ideas.
In a typical four-week tour, applicants participate in five full days of vocational visits, 15 to 20 club presentations, 10 to 15 formal visits and social events, two to three days at the district conference, three to four hours per day of cultural and site tours, and three to four hours per day of free time with host families.
For each team member, the Foundation provides the most economical round-trip airline ticket between the home and host countries. Rotarians in the host area provide for meals, lodging, and group travel within their district.
A group from Brazil visited our District 1140 last October and now John will lead a return group who will spend May in Brazil, concluding with the District 2240 Annual Conference.
District 4420 covers the southern part of Sao Paulo and Santos and our group is a single vocational team of young police officers. They will spend the whole of May in Brazil culminating in District 4420’s Annual Conference.
