E-forum and resource on youth peer education

[Guest guest]

The

Interagency Youth Working Group is hosting an online forum on youth peer

education. Moderated by experts around the globe, the forum provides an opportunity to

discuss youth peer education generally and the Evidence-Based Guidelines for Youth Peer Education (62 pages, 872 KB) specifically. We

encourage you to download this recently updated resource in advance of the

forum. It gives practical guidance on a range of issues important to developing

and sustaining successful youth peer education programs. You can also order a

hard copy by writing to publications@....

The

forum will begin at 9 AM Eastern Standard Time (EST) on Monday, January 10th

and end at 5 PM EST Thursday, January 13th. Beginning on the 10th,

you'll have the opportunity to ask questions of our experts and share your

experiences with colleagues working in peer education. Our experts live in a

variety of time zones, so their responses will be posted beginning on the

morning of January 11th.

We

welcome peer educators, program managers, program planners, and others

interested in youth peer education to join in the discussion. We’ll be

talking about the following topics: program planning, recruitment and retention

of peer educators, training youth to be peer educators, leading peer education

sessions, supervision and program management, monitoring and evaluation, and

addressing gender in peer education.

You

can register for the forum and read more about our experts at:
