GROUP STUDY EXCHANGE (GSE) Out bound team to South Korea.

One of the ROTARY important service to society is youth development. Group Study Exchange program is to expose Malaysian youth to foreign countries in order to broaden their personality.
The group normally consist of a team leader who is a senior Rotarian and four to six youth who have been working for at least three years. The trip to foreign countries may take from four to six weeks. During the trip the candidate will have an opportunity to see the hosting country. They would be able to see how their counterpart work in respective culture and environment. They too would act like ambassadors to introduce Malaysia to the hosting country. Candidates for the programme are chosen from list of applicants by a panel.

I had the opportunity to see this particular group rehearsing their presentation for the trip. I was surprised by their presentation in Korean language. I wish them all the best for their trip which will take place at the end of this month.
Note: If you have a candidate in mind for the programme please contact me for further info.
