The Rotary Friendship Exchange programme gives Rotarians the opportunity to experience other cultures first hand by participating in reciprocal visits with Rotarians from other countries. Rotary Friendship Exchange provides Rotarians with the opportunity to form personal contacts and make long-lasting friendships while exploring different parts of the world. The policy is for three incoming and outgoing exchanges per Rotary year. Exchanges last for fifteen days and usually involve five supporting club hosts for three days each.
Rotary Friendship Exchange is considered a very important part of the outward looking life of our District and club support for the programme is both vital and beneficial. Rotary Friendship Exchange is funded entirely by its participants with no cost to Rotary International. Guests are responsible for their own travel expenses and personal spending, while hosts are expected to provide housing, meals and sightseeing opportunities. Rotarian participants travel as individuals, couples and may include non-members.
