After educating peer educators at the beginning of this year, and after the two rounds of workshops in the eight high schools of Herzegovina – Neretva canton during the previous period, and within the “Program Y”, on Wednesday, 30th May, an evaluation meeting was held. The meeting was attended by peer educators as well as program coordinators with whom they shared their experiences and gave suggestions for continuing the program. Senior educators have been awarded certificates for their contribution to developing innovative approaches to preventing gender-based violence and promoting healthy lifestyles of young men and women. After the workshops, they follow the traditional summer activities for educators-competitions and camps.
Also, besides peer educators, the same day, certificates were awarded to expert staff; pedagogues from eight high schools involved in project activities. After the training sessions held on the second month of this year, the pedagogues, together with the peer educators, conducted programs of secondary school education, thus contributing to the implementation of the project in their local communities.
