UK Youth have some excellent resources that come from our experience in the field of peer education. Below is a selection of resources that specialise in peer education/mentoring which are available from the UK Youth Resource Catalogue.
Peer Education Environment
This useful manual offers clear and thorough guidance on setting up peer environment projects in many settings. It sets out the key principles for planning a project of this kind, and provides a framework of good practice for recruiting, training and supporting peer educators.
Know The Score! - youth-to-youth drug education
This comprehensive peer education resource is aimed at workers looking to prepare and support young people to act as peer drug educators. It empowers young people to make more informed choices by helping them to increase their skills and knowledge and to reflect on their own attitudes and behaviours.
Youth Listens- training & support for peer mentors
This training manual provides workers with a structured approach to supporting young people to mentor others. It describes methods for enabling young people to communicate and reflect on their own concerns and problems. It also develops their understanding of the skills and qualities needed for them to become effective and supportive peer mentors.
Peer Learning
Peer Learning is a popular staple resource providing all the tools needed to train young people to run a Peer Learning programme. It offers clear guidelines and a flexible structure that can be used across differing levels of participation by young people in many settings. It is suitable for work on a range of participative topics such as crime, democracy and citizenship.
