Facts and Figures
The youth exchange programs in Sweden are run by the Multi District
Organization approved by Rotary International. The Swedish MDO
consists of 10 RI districts 2320, 2330, 2340, 2350, 2370, 2380, 2390,
2400 and 2410.
Sweden Rotary Youth Exchange annually send approximately 125 outbound
students and host as many inbound students. All outbound students leave
Sweden in July/August. On the other hand, we receive inbound students
twice a year in August and January.

Arrival
dates
Exchange
students from the southern hemisphere arrive in Sweden between January
15 and 20 each year.
Exchange students from the northern hemisphere come to Sweden between
July 28 and August 1. |
Orientation
Camp
 Shortly
after the arrival of inbound students, an orientation camp is organized
by each district in Sweden.
The program varied from district to district, but they all offer
an opportunity for the inbound students to get to know the District
Chairperson and their fellow exchange students.
The orientation camp includes an introduction to the Swedish language,
culture and customs. The cost for the orientation camp is SEK 2000
and should be paid by exchange students.
All extra language trainings during the exchange year are free of
charge for the exchange
students in Sweden. |
Host
families
Like other Rotary districts, inbound students in Sweden are hosted by
either Rotarian or non-Rotarian families. All host families are carefully
chosen and approved by the local Rotary Club. Our goal is to provide
inbound students with two to three host families. Most host families
have a son or daughter who lives abroad as a Rotary youth exchange student
during the same exchange year.
Insurance
Inbound students to Sweden must carry an adequate insurance which meets
the Rotary International’s minimum. In case no such insurance can
be found in the home country, it is possible for inbound students to
purchase the student insurance here. The cost is SEK 6000 for 12 months. Please note that anyone who arrives in Sweden
uninsured must purchase the insurance immediately upon arrival.
