Would you like to experience a different culture and make new Rotary friends? This is possible if you volunteer to take part in a Rotary Friendship Exchange.
District 1010 currently have invitations to visit and host a number of Districts including Australia (New South Wales), USA (New York State, New England and California), Sweden, Russia, New Zealand and Southern Africa.
What is involved in a Rotary Friendship Exchange?
On an exchange visit you will get to stay in Rotarians houses, enjoy their hospitality, see their community and Rotary in action as well as experiencing the scenery and cultural activities of another part of the world.
What exchange visits are current?
Currently we have three possible exchanges looking for Rotarians with family and friends to participate.
Australia - 2024
It is proposed that they come to Scotland in May / June and the suggested dates are 30th May to 12th June 2024 with us visiting in October 12th - 25th October 2024. The Australians propose that the Scottish team arrives Friday 11th October and stays in a hotel in Brisbane overnight, if flying to Brisbane, or stay in Coolangatta if flying via Sydney.
