Opportunities for
self-development and understanding |
|
|
|
|
| |
| IGO International, which
was formed in 2001 to initiate, arrange and manage cultural and
academic exchanges between people of various countries, aims to help
bring the world together and provide people with opportunities for
self-development and understanding. |
| |
| |
| At an international
level, IGO International seeks to open doors around the world to
understanding and peace by using exchanges to unite people from
different families, different cultures, different continents, to
bring the world together – one friendship, one experience, one
exchange at a time. |
| |
| |
| At an individual level
IGO International seeks to offer people exchange opportunities for
self-discovery, for developing greater awareness of themselves, for
fulfilling their potential. These experiences will fit them to
become ambassadors of international understanding and goodwill,
people committed to making a difference. |
| |
| |
| IGO International's
directors believe the essence of a successful exchange scheme lies
in the commitment of the exchange organisation, its principals and
its staff to be more than merely organisers and administrators. |
| |
| |
| While organisational and
administrative qualities are essential to any exchange scheme, those
involved need to be motivated by higher ideals - that they are
playing an important role in the development and maturing of
exchangees at a crucial time of their lives; that they are working
towards improving international understanding; that they are working
towards making the world a better place for everyone. |

IGO International
Experience |
|
|
|
|
| |
| IGO International principals are vastly experienced in the
organisation and administration of exchanges, the preparation of New
Zealand exchangees and the leadership of foreign exchangees in New
Zealand and New Zealand exchangees in overseas countries. |
| |
| |
| Together, IGO
International's four principals (Dion and Barbara Crooks, and John
and Anne Smith) have more than 30 years experience in the very
specialised field of exchanges. |
| |
| |
| Between them, they
have hosted close to 20 teenagers on a long-term basis, plus many, many
more for shorter times. And all of their own children have
participated in exchanges. |
| |
| |
| As well as hosting
teenage students, Dion and Barbara Crooks have been involved with
Rotary International Youth Exchange (RYE) since 1989, and have been
on the northern South Island area organising committee for eight
years. They headed the district RYE organisation for five of those
years. |
| |
| |
| The scope of the RYE
exchange increased 850% under their leadership and they developed
almost all of the methodology now used for running RYE exchanges in
this district. |
