TDP’s activities include, for example, seminars by financial experts, our own alumni, or researchers, as well as debates with politicians or entrepreneurs. TDP also encourages students to start their own initiatives and provide hands-on help to get things started. An example is the collaboration with periodics, an initiative to ensure that menstrual hygiene products are freely available to all, just like toilet paper. In a student-led initiative, TPD x periodics set up a pilot during which all bathrooms at PPLE were equipped with free sanitary products.

As you give back to the community, the community will educate you. Practical experience during your studies will also make you more employable later on and better able to fill society's needs for knowledgeable, active and engaged professionals.
