Group Study Exchange
|
The Group Study Exchange (GSE) is a
program of The Rotary Foundation of Rotary International
and is a unique cultural and vocational exchange
opportunity for young business and professional men and
women between the ages of 25 and 40 and in the early
years of their professional lives. The program provides
travel grants for teams to exchange visits between
paired areas in different countries. For four to six
weeks, team members experience the host country's
institutions and ways of life, observe their own
vocations as practiced abroad, develop personal and
professional relationships, and exchange ideas.

Delaware Rotary typically hosts a day of activities when a
team visits the District. One such team from Brazil arrived in Columbus,
Ohio on Sunday, April 20, 2003. The Delaware Rotary Club hosted the group
through Wednesday, April 23. Follow their tour . . .
| The day started off with meeting
the Delaware City Manager, Tom Homan and Delaware City Mayor, Wendell
Wheeler. The team really delved into the various forms of city government
and how decision making is done. |

The team then visited the
Delaware Municipal Court where they were able to observe Judge Sunderman
arraign a prisoner in the Delaware County Jail via a two-way television
hookup. From there, the GSE team visited the
Delaware Arts Castle, where they learned about a vast number of programs
available to a wide range of age groups. |
| The Delaware Rotary Club was privileged to
hear a presentation made by the Group Study Exchange team at the noon Rotary
meeting. Following the meeting, the Team continued
their visits with a trip to the Delaware City Schools Dempsey Technology
Center - a state of the art computer technology lab for kindergarten through
8th grade. The day's tour concluded with a trip to Grady Memorial Hospital
and Ohio Wesleyan University. And no trip would be complete without a "happy
hour" at the Brown Jug Restaurant. |
