Peer Education Project


Pupil Comments

The students who participated in the Development Education Project: School to School Peer Education and the Global Dimension were given the opportunity to feed back to the staff and their peers about the involvement in the project. This is a few comments from pupils we have had over the past few years.

I gained trust in myself, the trust of other people and I feel sort of empowered after visiting the primary schools

I think it has made me think about schools a lot more in terms of what I do affects other people

Helped me to get my opinion across clearly, it has helped me in school by making presentations a lot easier and asking and answering questions easier as well.

I have gained more confidence in standing up in front of people both younger and older than me

It has helped me realise how lucky I am to have an education

The skills that I have learnt are: Communication, Concentration, Co-operation. I have gained confidence and self-praise. I am proud of myself as I have overcome my fear of speaking in front of a lot of people so I think Peer Education has helped me in more ways than one

It has made school more fun and interesting

Encouraged to act more responsibly because you’re trusted

Some of the stuff we learnt about made you realise these thing better how what you do affects the world, instead of just telling you what affects it

I have gained a much better attitude, knowledge of the world around me and I feel more able to work with other people.

I have learnt a lot more than I did at the beginning of the year about global issues and being a good citizen of our country

Make me think and help the planet we live on by teaching other people what to do to save planet earth

The project has helped me to become a more active global citizen

This has helped me to be a good global citizen - to re-cycle, pick up litter, and give to charity and to make others more aware

I have been able to leave the primary school knowing that I have done something good by informing younger children about important things.
