Peer to Peer Drugs Education Training 2011
Four students took part in the Peer to Peer Drugs Education Programme in 2011.
The Peer to Peer Drugs Education Programme is run in conjunction with the Home School Community Liaison scheme and the secondary schools in Finglas. The programme is designed to train 5th year students to act as assistants to the facilitators of a drug education programme. The facilitator and the trained assistants will deliver the programme to 1st year pupils after the completion of the training course.
The training course took place on Wednesday afternoons. Throughout the programme students acquired a huge amount of knowledge about drugs and their effects; they developed listening and facilitation skills and a wide range of skills that will allow them to work effectively with groups.
