Peer Education Training Package
The training package has been designed and developed over
three years. Each year the package has been modified and extended as we
learned through experience with peer eductors and students.
Many of the activities used in the training package have
been developed by trained peer eductors as they work with Keep Safe Stay
Cool. The processes for exploring topics in training are utilised in peer
educator led class sessions and continue to be refined as Peer Educators and
health workers work together.
The Keep Safe Stay Cool training package is designed to
be interactive and creative, utilising adult learning principles and group
work processes. Issues of domestic violence, gender role stereotyping,
healthy relationships and human rights are explored. Skill development is
the focus of final sessions. Training consists of twelve four-hour sessions.
A maximum of four morning/afternoon or evening sessions per
week are recommended or the peer eductors may feel overloaded. A minimum of
one per week will ensure you sustain involvement. We found that a whole day
session was too much for peer eductors and we would not recommend this.
