Y-PEER — Youth Peer Education Network osnovala je Interagencijska grupa (IAG) Ujedinjenih Nacija i to UNICEF — Deciji fond Ujedinjenih Nacija, UNFPA — Populacioni fond Ujedinjenih Nacija i WHO — Svetska zdravstvena organizacija. Y-PEER Mreza okuplja na hiljade mladih ljudi u 39 zemalja koji se bave edukacijom svojih vrsnjaka. Nacionalna mreza u Srbiji je
jedna od mreza koje su dozivele najveci rast i trenutno okuplja 32 nevladine organizacije, a takode uziva podrsku drzavnih
institucija i drugih medjunarodnih agencija.
Drage i dragi,
Cast mi je da vas obavestim da Y-PEER mreza organizuje "Eight Y-PEER Advanced Training of Trainers in Peer Education" koji ce se odrzati u Kairu, Egipat u periodu od 30. Oktobra do 7. Novembra. Ovo je fantasticna prilika da unapredite svoje trenerske vestine, naucite nove metode neformelnog obrazovanja i steknete prijatelje iz Y-PEER mreze sirom sveta. Sve sto je potrebno da uradite sada jeste da posaljete svoj CV i motivaciono pismo (na Engleskom) i ako ste spremni da se ozbiljnije posvetite Y-PEER mrezi onda ste na pravom putu da budete izabrani. Moram samo da napomenem da se ovi treninzi odrzavaju jednom, ili maksimum dva puta godisnje, tako da je velika steta ne prijaviti se i propustiti ovu priliku. Vase podatke posaljite na youthpeer@gmail.com najkasnije do 5. Septembra.
Sve troskove snosi UNFPA HQ tako da su vam potrebni dobra volja i zelja za usavrsavanjem:) Ime osobe koja ce nas predstavljati Y-PEER Srbiju bice poznato 10. Septembra.
Uslovi koje treba da ispunjavate se nalaze ispod a kako je Engleski jezik zvanicni jezik treninga nisam ih prevodio.
