COTA Queensland’s award winning Peer Education program is a training model that supports volunteer Peer Educators (usually older people themselves) to deliver information workshops to their peers. Simply put, it is education for older people by older people. Our fully trained Peer Educators are adept at leading a discussion and encouraging participation so that attendees can learn from each other while building on their own ideas and experiences.
These sessions are offered free of charge and usually last between 45-60 minutes. The topics we offer provide information that is accurate, independent and relevant to the needs of older Queenslanders.
Community education topics are based on the information needs of older people.
Topics currently available include:
