The Training of Trainers Manual

The manual is comprised of four main sections:

1. From Theory to Practice in Peer Education (PDF, 150 KB) reviews the definition of peer education and its rationale and value in the context of different behavior change theories and models.
2. Guidelines for Training of Trainers: A Curriculum (PDF, 2.24 MB) provides the outline of a suggested six-day training of trainers (ToT). For each of the training topics, the curriculum provides appropriate training exercises and notes.
3. A Sample Peer Education Session on HIV/AIDS (PDF, 130 KB) presents an example of a three- to four-hour peer education session on HIV/AIDS.
4. Participant Handouts (PDF, 509 KB) includes 20 handouts that are used in the six-day training.

This Training of Trainers Manual is part of an expanded Youth Peer Education Toolkit sponsored by the Youth Peer Education Network (Y-PEER) project. The toolkit also includes the following publications:

• Standards for Peer Education Programmes
• Theatre-Based Techniques for Youth Peer Education: A Training Manual
• Performance Improvement: A Guide for Managers (June 2006)
• Assessment Tool for Youth Peer Education Programs (June 2006)

Unfortunately, we are out of hard copies for the Training of Trainers Manual, the Standards for Peer Education Programmes, and the Theatre-Based Techniques Manual, and there are no plans for reprinting at this time.
