International Experience - Description
Through participation in the Rotary Youth exchange program, I studied a year abroad in Copenhagen, Denmark where I represented Canada with my three different host families, at the Danish school I attended, and with the Rotary Club in Copenhagen. I had the opportunity to learn from other international students participating in the exchange program, and from the Danish people I encountered, overall broadening my knowledge of and ability to engage with different cultures and global perspectives. I communicated my experiences through a presentation to the Rotary Club in Ottawa, Ontario as well as with the Rotary Club in Copenhagen.
