YEX and NGSE – Interrelation ??

• Both are RI exchange programs • Both belong to the 5th Alley of Service• Participants in both programs are “ambassadors”

==================

• There actually is no interrelation between the Youth Exchange and the New Generations Service Exchange.

• Both programs are different, have different committees on District level and are focusing different subjects and clientele.

• But ….

• …. and we do not see our Rotary programs isolated and we can use the experience and knowledge of all active Rotarians: so the YEOs can assist the NGSE-Os during the early phase of the NGSE Program to build up a NGSE network.
