Do you know anyone aged 18-25 years that would like to be an “ambassador” for Canterbury through our Rotary Club’s Mini Group Study Exchange (MGSE) scheme? This year our club will be hosting the event. Read on…
Our Club has a long tradition of supporting young people living in the Canterbury District by providing foreign travel opportunities linked to service both within the local community and internationally. One of these is the annual Mini Group Study Exchange (MGSE) which provides a chance for two people living, working or studying in Canterbury, aged between 18 and 25, to join with others of the same age from our four continental Contact Clubs in Leuven (Belgium), Leiden (Holland), Ludenscheid (Germany) and St Quentin (France), for a week of social, vocational and sporting events.
This year it is OUR club’s turn to host the MGSE – between Sunday 17th August and Sunday 24th August 2025. We have an exciting programme of events lined up for the young people across the week. Items include visits to The Houses of Parliament, a BBC studio, and a heritage steam railway. Participants will also see first hand the best of what East Kent has to offer from its beaches to its stunning countryside – and of course its pubs!
Applications are being sought from young people from the Canterbury area, aged between 18-25, looking to broaden their horizons, who are interested in international cooperation, who would like to be an ambassador for Canterbury Rotary and who wish to improve their CVs, to apply for a place on the 2025 MGSE.
Applicants will only require spending money as our Club will pay all the registration, travel and participation costs.
The deadline for applications is Friday 9th May 2025.
Further details and an MGSE application form can be found in the Young People section of the club’s website at: www.rotarycanterbury.org.uk/activities/mgse/ – or by emailing: mgse@rotarycanterbury.org.uk.
If you know of any young people who might be interested in this fantastic opportunity, please forward them the details.
