Open World Program

The Open World program offers clubs and districts in Rotary a way to enjoy meaningful international exchanges while giving professionals from Eurasian countries personal experiences with U.S. democracy. This program, funded by a U.S. government agency, focuses on developing an international network that allows leaders with common interests to consult and cooperate with each other on issues that affect their communities. Small groups of Open World participants (five delegates and a facilitator) visit the United States to learn about a particular topic within one of the hosting themes: accountable governance, social issues, or education. Accountable governance could include topics related to entrepreneurship, women in politics, or the environment. Social issues may focus on topics in health care or social services, while education could include STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) or special education.

We can help your club or district identify delegates to host. Send your request, including relevant projects you’re working on and the participant countries you’d like to work with, to openworldprogram@rotary.org.
