A unique youth exchange programme between Meghalaya and Kerala rotary clubs is being scheduled for youths of both the states from January 9, 2025.
Organised jointly by Rotary Club of Shillong and Rotary Club of Kochi East, the programme envisions a 10-day tour of Kerala by a team of five handpicked youths to serve as cultural ambassadors of Meghalaya.
Through the programme, the rotary clubs aim to provide an exposure to the rich cultural tapestry of the states, understand the local ethos and create a bond of friendship.
During their tour to Kerala, the local team will get free air passage and home hospitality with members of Rotary Club there. They will visit places of interest and interact with various sections.
A similar team will come on a return visit to Shillong in early April next year.
Students who are between 18 and 25 years of age, male or female, who are residents of Meghalaya, and are well conversant with local culture and ethos, possess good communication skills, fluent in English, and backed up with an outgoing personality, may apply. Those having musical skills will be an added qualification.
Rotary Club of Shillong President, Amit Saraf said said interested participants can apply online on https://forms.gle/tQPAz386iF8kVNU66 within November 26, 2024.
A personality test will be conducted for the shortlisted candidates on December 2, 2024 for which due notice will be sent via email.
