From 18 to 20 September 2026, the first Inbound Orientation Meeting of the new exchange year will take place in Kroměříž. The event, organised by Rotary Youth Exchange Czechia together with Rotex, is intended for all newly arrived international students in the Rotary Youth Exchange programme, and attendance is compulsory.

During the weekend, students will have the opportunity to get to know one another and take part in team-building activities. Above all, they will receive important information to help them navigate their exchange year in the Czech Republic. They will learn more about exchange rules, travel, staying with host families, school and cooperation with Rotary clubs. The programme will also cover culture shock, Czech language lessons, experiences and practical advice from former inbound students in Rotex, as well as information on visas and insurance.
