Project Interchange (PI) is an American program that arranges education visits and seminars to Israel for American and international leaders in different fields. Established in 1982, PI is run by the American Jewish Committee.
Each year, PI invites 300 professionals from journalism, religion, government, health care, security, and academia to participate. Since 1982, over 6,000 participants from over 115 countries have attended PI programs.[1]
Each PI delegation's week-long visit is customized to emphasize their specific interests. Activities include site visits and meetings with both Israeli and Palestinian professionals, policy-makers, civil society leaders, and government officials.[2]
