Development of the New Generations Service Programs

According to a RI Board Decision in 2012 NGSE replaced in 2013 the earlier NGE. It ranks equally with Youth Exchange , RYLA and Rotaract/ Interact.

This program does not need to fulfil the RI Youth Exchange Certification Requirements and opens new and more possibilities for Districts.

Many countries have a tradition in vocational training abroad since many centuries.

• Young journeymen hiked through Europe to learn about their craft at different placesbefore they finally settled.

• Merchants sent their heirs to partner companies in other countries for training.

Results / Impact

Immersion in another country’s cultural, educational and working environment enhances young adult’s academic, vocational and personal growth. Host clubs and families and the entire community are enriched by extended, friendly contact with someone from a different culture.

Exposure to different cultures ranks as one of the most powerful ways to promote international understanding and peace.
