  11. Where does peer education take place ? Peer education can take place in small groups or through individual contact and in a variety of settings: in schools and universities, clubs, churches, workplaces, on the street or in a shelter, or wherever young people gather. *Adapted from the Peer Education Training of Trainers manual UN Interagency Group on Young Peoples Health Development and Protection in Europe and Central Asia Sub-Committee on Peer Education

  12. Why use peer education? • A young person’s peer group has a great influence on the way he or she behaves. • Youth peer educators are less likely to be seen as authority figures ‘preaching’ about how others should behave from a judgmental position. • Young people get a great deal of information from their peers on issues that are especially sensitive or culturally taboo. • Peer education is also a way to empower young people: it offers them the opportunity to participate in activities that affect them and to access the information and services they need to protect their health. *Adapted from the Peer Education Training of Trainers manual UN Interagency Group on Young Peoples Health Development and Protection in Europe and Central Asia Sub-Committee on Peer Education
