People to People


How is this possible!

People to People makes this possible. It started with Dwight D. Eisenhower in 1956.

The program has helped me grow as a student and a citizen. I began travelling through the People to People educational program in the 8th grade. That year I went to England, Wales and Ireland.

A year later I traveled to Malta, Italy and France.

Here is some information about People to People:

President Dwight D. Eisenhower believed that ordinary citizens of different nations, if able to communicate directly, would solve their differences and find a way to live in peace. In 1956, he put those beliefs into action and created People to People.
