Section 8
9 sessions for training
Peer Coaches
The main aim of these 9 sessions is to
enable young people, workers or coaches to set up a peer
group education project focused on issues concerning racism,
xenophobia, anti-Semitism and intolerance and to explore
ways of integrating activities into their own youth work.
We have made no reference: getting to know
each other exercises, warming up activities, mid-way evaluation
etc. This should be left to the trainer who is designing
the programme or course. What you will find in this section
are 9 sessions with ideas and guide-lines which you can
use in the planning of a training course for coaches who
are interested in peer group education and the topics of
the 'all different - all equal' campaign.
All models and training sessions carry
with them certain limitations. It is not possible, for example,
to know the skills of the trainer, the atmosphere in the
group, the knowledge level concerning racism, xenophobia,
anti-Semitism and intolerance or the place where the training
will take place. The training can take place in residential
workshops lasting 6 days, during evening sessions held over
several weeks or months. Most of the exercises can be used
for groups of 15 - 35 persons. We suggest that you read
the different sessions, draw from the activities and plan
the training in a way which is suitable for your situation
or group.
