What we’re about
Connecting People and Cultures around the Globe
The vision of People to People International (PTPI) is to create a network of culturally knowledgeable global citizens dedicated to fostering a more peaceful world.
Believing in the power of connections across borders and cultures, PTPI's mission is to offer experiences that promote cross-cultural learning, develop global leadership skills, and connect individuals committed to making a positive impact worldwide.
In an interconnected world, success comes to those prepared to lead across divides. PTPI provides innovative ways for people to lead, learn, experience and connect.
A Framework for Action
PTPI offers a global space for members to work, rest, and play. This is a place to share, learn, and create together, fostering community-driven projects that strengthen society.
We strive to make our Hub a respectable space for social and business partners to anchor and showcase initiatives. Strong communities reduce inequalities, minimize conflict, and remove barriers to finding solutions.
Join us in building a more connected and peaceful world.

Understanding Childlessness in the Workplace
TIMESMORE (formerly VIP Offices), Boulevard St. Michel 47, Brussels, BEWorkshop: Understanding Childlessness in the Workplace
By Michelle Mildiner
Brussels, 10 December 2025
Register here: https://www.imaginationclub.org/brussels/understanding_childlessness_in_workplace.php
In every office, there is probably at least one colleague who is childless, and not by choice. Yet they’re too embarrassed to talk about it. The longing, the IVF, the miscarriages...nothing is said, and it remains a taboo.
In this workshop, we will:
* Share experiences.
* Discuss painful every-day office situations and inadvertently hurtful comments.
* Brainstorm how to talk about it and what to do, without disadvantaging or offending colleagues with children.
* Look at what some companies are already doing to improve wellbeing in this area.
Whether you’re involuntarily childless, you work in HR or you’re simply curious, all are welcome.
About Michelle Mildiner
Michelle teaches English to adults (intermediate and advanced), does proof-editing, and is a life coach. Born in London, she has lived in Brussels for around 20 years. In her spare time, she’s the lead singer in a band, plays piano badly, and is learning Dutch. She lives with her husband and their one-eared cat. Currently, Michelle is studying Grief & Bereavement Counselling, to better understand herself and to support others going through childlessness.
Having spent many years in various office environments dealing silently with her own loss, Michelle feels there is a real need for more dialogue and better understanding about being childless in the workplace. She hopes this workshop will be just the beginning.
