People to People International has always been about Advancing Peace through Understanding, but understanding alone is not enough. Dialogue is an essential part of connection, yet real impact comes from the actions we take together. As we build PTPI’s future, it is time for our members to think about how we ensure that our values translate into meaningful initiatives that address both local and global challenges.
One way forward is through the Citizens Assembly—a structured approach that allows members to actively shape PTPI’s direction, ensuring that our mission is lived and not just spoken. This aligns closely with the Citizens, Equality, Rights and Values (CERV) Programme, an EU initiative dedicated to protecting and promoting the values enshrined in the EU Treaties and the Charter of Fundamental Rights.
How can we bring PTPI to life in the reality of its members? What issues do we face locally and in common? How do we move from discussion to tangible outcomes? Now is the time to shape the next phase of our journey—together.
Let’s define our path forward. Your voice matters, and your actions will make the difference.
