PTPI Student Chapters: How it all began!
PTPI’s Student Chapter Program was created in 2002 and today Student Chapters
are actively bringing PTPI’s mission of Peace through Understanding to their
communities. Hundreds of Community, University and Student PTPI Chapters exist throughout
Africa, Asia, Europe, Latin America, the Middle East and the USA and are located
in more than 50 countries. Student Chapters are a natural extension of PTPI founder
President Dwight D. Eisenhower’s vision of enhancing cross-cultural communication
within each community, and across communities and nations.
What are chapters?
Chapters are at the heart of PTPI, increasing international understanding and education
in their local communities. PTPI believes every global citizen should take an active
interest in the local community and the world. Through the Student Chapter program,
PTPI enables students to build long-lasting, peaceful relationships between cultures.
Chapters meet regularly and take part in exciting, inspiring community projects
and events.
