Training description
The primary aim of this training course is to equip young volunteers, active in local youth information centres and points, with the skills to implement peer-to-peer activities. Participants will learn to become youth group facilitators and information multipliers, utilising various youth information and group facilitation tools to engage their peers effectively.
The course is designed for young people aged 14-30 who are eager to contribute to the mission of youth information and empower others within their communities.
The training manual, available below, serves as an essential resource for participants who complete the course and wish to train other peers and youth workers. It provides a practical guide for applying peer-to-peer methodology in everyday youth work.
