One of the aims of PINS project was also to enhance key competences of the youth peer workers, included in the project. Evaluation team performed a systematic evaluation of gained knowledge and skills in two different groups. One was formed of peers attending learning mobiliy (training and intervention at Boom festival) and the other was evalution with group of seven peer representatives, who were included in the PINS more intensively. Below you can find the questiones we used in the (online) questionnaires and results of the evaluation.
Before the Boom intervention started, participants of the exchange took part of the international training, which was performed by different project partners, who are specialized in specific aspects of the intervention. Here you can read what we learned and how.
NEW IP was carried out between 2011 and 2013 by the community-based NGOs and the institutions involved in the BASICS Network and the DC&D Safer Nightlife Platform, the Nightlife Empowerment & Well-being Implementation Project (NEWIP) proposed specific responses to the new challenges in the fields of harm reduction and health promotion, using recreational settings as initial outreach locations.
During the NEW IP project intervention guidelines for international peers working together and good practice standards for peer education in nightlife settings were establish. It was a big help before preparing BOOM intervention for PINS project and will also be very useful for the future projects and interventions. Big thank you to all involved in NEW IP project for preparing and sharing the guidelines. You can find and use publications on the links below:
