Rotary Group Study Exchange with Japan

 

There's a chance of a lifetime awaiting four young career professionals from Mid and North Wales, Merseyside, together with parts of Cheshire, Lancashire and Shropshire.

 The quartet – hopefully a mix of young men and women between the ages of 25-40 – will be whisked to the exotic Far East via a unique Group Study Exchange Programme.

 

The lucky participants will spend  4  weeks in the Saitama area of Japan, where they will be able to see how their chosen career operates in a radically different part of the world, as well as experiencing the way of life and local culture by staying with local families.

 And, amazingly, the life-changing experience will cost them virtually NOTHING cash-wise - apart from out-of-pocket expenses, and travel insurance!

It's all part of a scheme from the 'Rotary International' organisation which promotes "peace the world over", co-ordinates vast charity efforts across the world, and forges lasting cultural links between nations.

 

Senior officials of Rotary are now actively seeking candidates for the trip which will last around four weeks from Sunday 8th November 2009 to Sunday 6th  December 2009 and will be led by Rotarian David Bathers of the Llanfairfechan and Penmaenmawr Rotary Club

Tuition in Japanese language and culture will be available before departing.

Aan application form can be obtained by clicking on the pdf file at the top of this page or from Group Study Exchange Chairman David Barton e-mail: d.c.barton@btinternet.com

 Applications must be submitted by 1st March 2009

 

Final selection interviews will be held at Chester University, Sunday 8th March 2009
