Handbook Unity, Starting and Implementing Peer Education Projects in Nightlife Settings

Handbook Unity, starting and implementing peer education projects in nightlife settings

By Judith Noijen

In this Handbook, the author presents the reader with the basis for the peer methodology so you can set up and implement your own peerproject in nightlife settings. She uses Unity, a peer-educatieproject for and by young people from the dance scene, as an example for the various phases of building a project like this. Also she gives the reader all sorts of instruments developed in the 9-year experience with Unity.

There is a separate booklet for the peers with guidelines what is expected from them when they are working as peer educator.
