The training unit, developed in the Pestalozzi Programme in the Education for the prevention of violence at schools (VIO) module, consists of six activities, including an evaluation session for peer education training for a group of up to ten persons.
The aim of this training unit is peer education on bullying and the promotion of healthy relationships in order to raise awareness: to understand and to be able to identify the different types of bullying, to get informed about bullying and promote healthy interactions such as expressing feelings and needs, being assertive and making choices.
A group of ten 17-18 year old students are trained to act as "student ambassadors", passing on the message of ‘convivencia’ (living together in harmony) to the youngest students in the school.
