Inter-country committees promote contact between districts and
clubs in two or more countries and increase fellowship and intercultural
understanding among the people of various nations.
Rotarians are encouraged to create new inter-country committees to
foster stronger ties between Rotarians, clubs, and districts from different
countries and establish networks across borders, continents, and oceans.
Inter-country committees should be promoted at RI, district and club
meetings. (June 2007 Mtg., Bd. Dec. 281)

Letter of Steffan Wolf - participant of exchange
I really had a wonderful time in Poland and I come back with totally different view of your wonderful
country. So – that’s what it is about – get to know the real way of living of people in a country and not only
believe what you hear. I want to thank Rotary for giving me the chance to
get to know my neighbors.
