A warm welcome to our community and our website
Welcome to People to People International’s Global Coordination Centre (GCC)
Our Home in Brussels
Our Home in Brussels Since 1970, PTPI has maintained a strong presence in Brussels, Belgium, often referred to as the ‘Capital of Europe.’ In 2023, our organization transitioned its global headquarters to this vibrant and culturally rich city, establishing the Global Coordination Centre (GCC). Brussels, with its unique blend of international communities, diverse traditions, and strategic global connections, perfectly reflects PTPI’s mission of uniting people from all corners of the world. The team in Brussels has long been strong advocates for a global Chapter Network, making it an ideal location to serve as the seat of our operations and a hub for fostering meaningful cross-cultural connections.
Our Approach
We are a dynamic, member-driven community supported by dedicated volunteers. Combining the innovation of a cooperative with business and technology best practices, PTPI achieves global impact while remaining a trusted local partner. We prioritize collaboration, efficiency, and meaningful connections to drive positive change.
