Introduction...

You spend 3-4 weeks during the summer exploring a different country another culture and possibly another language. In return, you welcome your exchange partner into your home for 3-4 weeks.

You make a lifetime friend and have a lot of fun together exploring each other's countries.

Applications are welcome throughout the year.

Students who will shortly be going on their exchanges take part in the orientation training given by Rotary
