Share to Know: a guidebook for using peer-to-peer and collaborative learning methods
Share to Know is a European exchange project that aims to further the use of peer-to-peer learning methodologies by educational institutions and other organisations/ individuals working with young people.
Aims of the tool
This guidebook aims to support youth and education practitioners to further their use peer-to-peer and collaborative learning methods, with a particular focus on engaging young people who are not currently accessing formal learning, training or employment opportunities.
Description of the tool
The high number of young people across Europe who are not in education, employment or training (NEET) is a worrying indicator that formal education systems are failing to support young people to develop the skills and capabilities needed to get on in life and access further opportunities. Peer-to-peer learning shifts the power dynamic between ‘learners’ and ‘teachers’ and has been found to be effective at sustainably re-engaging young people who haven’t had a positive experience of formal education institutions. Through the Share to Know project we have explored the ways in which peer-to-peer learning experiences can support personal, social and professional development; this guide shares a range of examples and recommendations about how education and learning practitioners can apply and sustain peer-to-peer methods in their own work.
The guide is structured by practical topics including:
- Defining peer-to-peer education
- Engaging young people in peer-to-peer education
- Applying peer-to-peer learning in formal and non-formal educational contexts
- Building connections with employers and further education providers
- Evaluating peer-to-peer learning methods
