What is peer education: A peer is a person who belongs to
the same social group as another person or group. The social group may be based on age, sex, sexual orientation, occupation,socio-economic and/or health status, etc. Education refers to the development of a person’s knowledge, attitudes, beliefs or behavior resulting from the learning process.

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.

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.
