The Exchange Experience
Exchanges are the core activity of Friendship Force, and an extensive guide to current exchanges, joining them and participating in them is presented here for the information of both current and new members.
As exchanges are an on-going activity, this page should be consulted on a regular basis.
The following BUTTONS provide information for members, current and new, on the current roster of exchanges, as well as information on signing up for exchanges and activities around them.
Friendship Force Ottawa to Friendship Force Moscow:
Here on Red Square
A group of Australian and two American clubs sought a winter experience in Canada. This Inbound Exchange in February, 2011, was a collaboration between FFOttawa and our sister French Language Club, Force de l’Amité. Here Hosts and Ambassadors join in a Sleigh Ride at Fulton’s Maple Farm.
As FFO is a large club, there are usually four Outbound and four Inbound exchanges each year, but it is possible to join under-subscribed
Exchanges from other clubs or Exchanges organized by Friendship Force International. These widen the travel experience a great
deal. A guide to exchanges organized through Friendship Force International can be found at http://www2.thefriendshipforce.org/catalog/ffi_listonly.aspx.
The
Canadian Friendship Force Clubs have an Exchange Website to help fill under-subscribed exchanges. It is at www.canffex.ca.
The BUTTONS also provide information about current policies on exchanges, as well as a TOOLBOX for the Exchange Directors of both Outbound and Inbound exchanges.
