Through the Rotary Foundation Group Study Exchange programme, paired Rotary districts both send and receive teams of four non Rotarians, aged between 25 and 40, for a four to six week study tour to learn how their vocations are practised in another country and to participate in the life and culture of that other country. The receiving district arranges home stays and pays for lodging, meals and travel within the district.

The exchanges in 2008–2009 will be with:

• District 5450 Denver USA (Single Vocational Exchange - Focus on Family Violence):
  • Inwards 15 Sep 2008 - 14 Oct 2008
  • Outwards 5 Apr 2009 - 4 May 2009
• District 1650 Brittany France (Multi Vocational Exchange):
  • Inwards 27 Feb 2009 - 27 Mar 2009
  • Outwards 2 Oct 2008 - 31 Oct 2008

The District 1650 GSE team will participate in the District 9940 Conference scheduled for 6-8 March 2009 in Napier.
