Young Persons Services, East Renfrewshire Council

The young people involved in this group came from two schools, one non-denominational and the other denominational. The group designed a peer education programme based on their own learning to take to feeder schools and first year groups in high schools. They used digital recorders to record the stories of the children and young people who took part in the school-based workshops and created a podcast which was played on local radio at various times over a week, ensuring that different age groups and audiences heard about their work. The radio station also hosted an open day, inviting community members to meet and chat with the peer educators.
