...& from me, thank you to Steve for being our 'Danjo' - a team leader who didn't try to box us in, but who made sure to look out for us and look after us when we needed it. We had a hell of a lot of fun didn't we! What d'you think the 'Soup of the Day' will be at our first Rotary dinner??
Also to Steve, thank you, you did a fantastic job and were an incredible leader and good mate whilst there. Missing all the team and Japan already and the fun times we had together. Looking forward to seeing you all again and having a break from the hectic life which Japan made me realise I lead. Ja Mata!!
The Rotary Foundation’s Group Study Exchange (GSE) program 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 program 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. 2008 the host country is Japan.
