EXPECT RESPECT

Expect Respect!
A drama based peer legal education project promoting safe and healthy relationships


The Project

Expect Respect is a drama based peer education project that aims at engaging young people in a discussion about legal issues and the laws dealing with relationships and sexual relations. Particularly, the project aims at developing awareness amongst young people about the laws relating to sexual assault, rape and domestic violence.

The project will train at least 8 young people, between the ages of 18 and 21, to become Expect Respect Peer Educators. The peer educators will then work together with our lawyers in delivering the Expect Respect workshops to young people.

How long is the training for?
Not very long! The peer education training covers two days of about 6 hours each day. The training will be interactive and fun. There will be lots of breaks and food and beverages will be provided. During the training, young people will work together to develop a drama performance to deliver the project’s core message Expect Respect!

The project will engage three experienced and talented young performers who will help produce the performance.




Will I get paid?
The good news is that you will also get paid for attending the training and for helping deliver the Expect Respect workshops to other young people.

You will receive a $120 payment for attending the 2 days training and $80 for each Expect Respect workshop you help deliver. Depending on your availability, you will participate in at least 4 workshops. The workshops will run for about 1 hour.

How do I get involved?
To become an Expect Respect peer educator you will first need to complete a short questionnaire to help us find out a bit more about you and your reasons for wanting to participate in the project.

Once you are selected, will need to attend the two days training. At the training you will learn about peer education and how it works. You will also learn about the law, conflict resolution skills, services that support victims of sexual offences, how to obtain legal advice, and skills needed to be ambassadors and promoters of respectful relationships. We are confident the training will also help you to learn more about yourself.





Thank you for your interest and we hope to see you at the training!
