The Peer Education Program is a project of Naz Foundation (India) Trust
funded by the Levi Strauss Foundation. After a successful first year that
trained 20 pilot peer educators across Delhi University colleges, we have
begun our second year with 40 peer educators being trained on: Sexuality,
Gender Based Violence, HIV/AIDS and Sexual Health.
After training, they organize and conduct workshops on these issues with
their peers. When conducting these workshops, peer educators are encouraged
to be creative, many use elements of music, dance and role-playing.
The overall objective of the program is to impact the knowledge, attitudes,
values and skills of the students conducting the trainings and of those
being trained. The first target was to reach to about 400 students. We did
that successfully and hope to reach even more in this second year of the
program. These 40 peer educators will in turn educate at least 800 of their
fellow college students.
