Meet the World in Denmark Living and learning with people from the whole world is inspiring and enriching in every way. It provides you with a unique chance to explore a wide range of different cultures - and to learn about yourself. How do you think, feel, believe and act differently from people in other parts of the world - and how are we all alike? At IPC we offer a broad global perspective - and we help you to find yourself. Our goal is to challenge you in various ways. What makes you happy? What are your special talents? Where do you want to go in life? We hope you will find it meaningful to engage with other people and help to create a more peaceful, sustainable and fair development of our planet. In return we will show you an alternative way of learning and provide a fantastic network of fascinating friends from all over the world. Søren Launbjerg, Principal SQren Launbjerg About International People’s College (IPC) International People’s College was founded in the wake of World War l by Peter Manniche with the belief that world peace is created through understanding. If people from around the world got to know each other better they would discover that they held in common their basic human goodness. With this knowledge people could love and help each other. Nearly a century later this same idea drives us and is the basis of the work of our Folk High School in Denmark. Diversity enriches our lives and expands our horizons. It helps us see the world in a new and inspiring light, which we can all learn from. By bringing people together from different cultures to study, socialize and live together we strive to create tolerant global citizens. In 1988 International People’s College had the great honour and privilege of being appointed an official United Nations Peace Messenger by then Secretary General Javier Pérez de Cuéllar. We try, everyday, to honour this tribute by encouraging peaceful co-existence at the school and beyond. We bring people from around the world together to live, love and learn.
