Can advisors participate in the training? This training weekend is designed to train student peer educators, not advisors. Advisors may choose to attend the training to observe how to facilitate the training themselves in the future ("train-the-trainer") but are discouraged from taking an active role in discussions, role-playing, etc. so students receive the greatest benefit. Advisors must pay the full registration fee in order to cover meal and materials costs. Available for purchase from the
BACCHUS Network, the CPE Training Kit is designed so that any advisor
with some basic facilitation or workshop presentation skills can train their
own students. A facilitator’s guide of over 200 pages guides the trainer
through a series of interactive exercises, role-plays with discussions, and
lectures on key topics. A program DVD contains ready-to-use Power Point
presentations outlining each module. Embedded into the Power Points are
role-plays and demonstrations to generate discussions and aide participants
in learning important skills. |

What if our campus is not located in Area 10? Any interested campus-based peer educators are welcome to attend this CPE Training. You do not need to be located in Area 10. |

|
What if we are not a BACCHUS Network affiliate? You are welcome to attend the training, though a higher registration fee will apply. Whether you are just starting out or an established group, this is a great opportunity for your group to develop new skills and plus learn about the support the BACCHUS Network can provide for your peer education efforts. If you are interested, affiliation with BACCHUS is FREE!!! Just go to www.bacchusnetwork.org/join.asp to learn more. |
