Girlguiding LaSER are excited to be hosting another Peer Education basic training. This is a fun-filled weekend that brings together young members aged 14-25 from across London and the South East to develop new skills, improve confidence and make new connections. Peer educators are trained to deliver interactive workshops on topics that matter today to Brownies, Guides and Rangers and similar age groups outside of Girlguiding.
At this Basic Training Weekend, you’ll learn the skills necessary to be a peer educator, receive training in the Think Resilient resource designed to build mental wellbeing and grow resilience and leave equipped with the ability to start delivering sessions in your county!

How do I become a Peer Educator?
· Sign up to attend basic training using this form and send your payment using the details on the form to secure your place. Your place will be confirmed via email once we receive your payment which is non-refundable, unless someone is found to take your place. If you have concerns about paying this, please contact your county commissioner who may be able to offer financial support. Places are limited and will be allocated on a first-come, first-served basis, after which a waiting list will be operated. Registration closes on Monday 6 February 2023.
· Complete the Peer Education e-learning. When you have completed this, log it here so that it can be added to your GO record.
· Complete A Safe Space Levels 1 and 2, if you are over 18. If you are under 18, complete a Safe Space for 14-17 year olds. If you have already completed your a Safe Space training, ensure that this doesn’t run out in the next four months, or you will have to complete the training again. This can be accessed on the Learning Platform but if you have difficulties logging, do ask your unit leader or commissioner for help.
· Watch the Think Resilient Topic Video and complete the Quiz on the Girlguiding website
We’ll send out a detailed information pack nearer to the event
