The Partner-Finding Tool
The organization was created in 1956, during the cold war, by president Dwight Eisenhower. The purpose of People to People International is to enhance international understanding and friendship through educational, cultural and humanitarian activities involving the exchange of ideas and experiences directly among peoples of different countries and diverse cultures.
The chapter in Roman was founded in 1990 and it involves cultural, social and humanitarian activities, beeing one of the most active and numerous chapter from the Eastern Europe, with more than 70 active members. Some of our activities are: special courses for children with autism and Down Syndrome, assisted by qualified persons, anti-AIDS local campaign, social service training, home-stay programmes, Language Ambassador Programme, Community Service Day (collecting trash from a certain area in our city), English courses at the Centre for Persons with Disabilities, volunteering, Debate Club, raising funds campaigns. We have also organized the International People To People Conference in 2003.
Since 2008 our members attended several Youth in Action programs both youth exchanges and seminars and since then our major focus was to create our own Youth in Action project. Before the actual writing process the leaders attended several training courses offered by our national Agency. Having this complex background we applied for an Youth in Action grant and our project “Ready, steady... go for a healthy life” was ranked among the top three at that particular deadline.
