CULTIVATING CAPACITIES FOR QUALITY PEER TRAINING : QUALITY PEER TRAINING AGAINST DISCRIMINATION

Training Course

24-30 August 2014 | Wexford, Ireland

A 5-day thematic training focusing on 3 main aspects: romaphobia, confronting discrimination and taking social action. The aim of this training is to improve the quality and strengthen the social impact of peer education methods against discriminations.
A place to learn how to face prejudice, develop self-awareness of one’s role in either perpetuating or confronting discrimination and understanding the construction of individual’s own cultural identity. A stimulating multicultural environment, where participants are called to face in group or through self-examination the potential of diversity. A moment to reflect and engage young people in a systemic change to overcome all kind of discrimination. The European Peer Training Organisation (EPTO) is pleased to invite peer trainers, as well as trainers and social workers from the youth sector, to explore further and acquire more skills in anti-discrimination and social action to participate in the Quality peer training against discrimination organised as part of the project “Cultivating capacities for quality peer training”. WHAT’S THE OBJECTIVE? A 5-day thematic training focusing on 3 main aspects: romaphobia, confronting discrimination and taking social action. The aim of this training is to improve the quality and strengthen the social impact of peer education methods against discriminations. HOW WILL WE WORK?

Organiser:

European Peer Training Organisation (EPTO) (Youth NGO)

In EPTO, we believe in the power of peer education as a tool to empower youth as actors in social transformation and to contribute to the creation of inclusive societies ensuring the well-being of all.
In the context of the promotion Campaign “Together We Learn-Together We Change” (www.peertraining.eu) promoting peer education and youth activism in Europe, we’ve started a formal discussion about increasing the impact of peer education.
Now, our aim is to improve the quality of peer training within and beyond the EPTO network. By reviewing EPTO’s pedagogical programmes, updating materials, integrating new relevant approaches, extracting quality standards of delivery and testing out new seminar formats, we will cultivate capacities of EPTO’s peer trainers and new potential trainees and partners, in order to foster and mainstream quality in peer education.
