Europe
PTPI Europe has a passionate history of discovering and connecting cultures around the world. As a strong area of the PTPI family, homestay and conferences have served our community well. The issues of Youth, their education and contribution to the world, has kept us focused when funding and volunteering.
We have discovered the secret of friendship in our homestays. It is the people that make it work. We find them everywhere we go, in every culture, class and color. It is our passion to understand each other and take part in discovering and connecting cultures around the world that energizes us and has built the strong connections visible today.
The officers that serve the continent of Europe, our European Executive Committee (EEC or Council) are all established members living and working locally. They bring the expertise and practical experience we need to be effective change agents at a grass-roots level.
