The only catch is you must be an Australian citizen who has been employed for two years in a recognised business, trade or profession, and work in the local Rotary district 9650.
The Rotary Clubs in Armidale are now seeking expressions of interest from employed people, aged 25 to 40, who would be interested in the vocational exchange to the Scandinavian country.

Four people will be selected to take part in Rotary’s Group Study Exchange and they will be accompanied by a Rotarian team leader, to travel to Denmark for four weeks, travelling and staying in the homes of Rotarians.
Rotary describes the program as a unique cultural and vocational exchange opportunity for young men and women in the early years of their professional life, which is designed to develop professional and leadership skills.
Denmark’s most famous theme park, LEGOLAND, will be included in the tour, which will begin on August 30 when the group lands in the country.
During the month-long exchange the team will participate in Rotary meetings and give presentations on their vocations as well as their lives in Australia.
The selection process will take place next month in Armidale, where applicants will complete a written paper and be interviewed. Applications close on Friday, June 1.
An initial selection will be held on the weekend of June 16-17, and if required, a final selection of team members will be held the following weekend.
The trip costs $2500 towards airfares.
