The Peterson lectures were inaugurated in 1989 to commemorate the commitment of Alec Peterson to the IB, as its first director general from 1966–77.
He had been attracted to the “IB project” because it encompassed so much of his own desire for a broad-based education favouring critical thinking skills, community service and an international perspective.
On our 40th Anniversary, at the Annual General Meeting in Atlanta, the Peterson Lecture was delivered by our guest lecturer His Highness the Aga Khan.
