Zimbabwe - Outreach training with peer educators - October 2010

This is a video shot and edited by Streetwize. It was filmed during the Peer Educators Workshop at Silveira House, Harare, Zimbabwe.

Peer education is a very important way of learning and sharing for students of the teacher education colleges in Zimbabwe. Members of peer educator clubs will engage with their peers on lifeskills issues, HIV/AIDS and environmental concerns. It is the dream of the peer educator clubs of all 14 teacher education colleges to reach out to vulnerable children in nearby communities as well. Mobile School, an internationally recognized organization that develops educational methods and learners' games for street children, facilitated a week long training organised by VVOB in Zimbabwe.

The training ran from 22 until 28 October 2010, and brought together peer educators and their supporting lecturers from all teacher education colleges of the country. The training focused on building self-esteem of children, basic counselling skills, creativity and game development. At the end of the week's training, the peer educators pitched their products and concepts to the Principals of the colleges.

The workshop was organised by the Quality Education and Vulnerability Programme in Zimbabwe. This is a partnership between VVOB and the Ministry of Higher and Tertiary Education in Zimbabwe. See: www.vvob.co.zw.
