ST IVES HOST THE NEW GENERATION EXCHANGE TEAM- October 2008

the new gen exchange team

During October 2008, St Ives Rotaract hosted the New Generation Exchange Team from Switzerland. The New Generation Exchange program is a vocational and cultural experience offered to young people between the ages of 18 and 25 to experience a wide range of career-focused opportunities. I had the pleasure of looking after the team in their last week by having more of a social experience with them including a swim at Manly Beach, Blue Mountains Trip and a massive tour of Sydney city including a tour of every back street, side street and one way street that the city has to offer. The team also attended a few Rotary meetings and met with some Rotaractors from Chatswood Rotaract all this culminating in a farewell on the Thursday night at the world famous Opera Bar. Evan also home hosted Rahel one of the team members and she expressed her sincere thanks to Rotary and Rotaract on putting together a wonderful program.

Six participants will be chosen for a reciprocal visit to Switzerland in August next year. For more information in applying to the NGE please contact Evan 0404061981 or Rotarian Ian Cameron 0411240513.
