Description
HERA, a civil society organization, is concentrated with supporting activities which will provide enjoyment of human rights, such as the one on access of quality information and services in the area of sexual and reproductive health. One of its main activities, since its establishment in 2000, is peer education for HIV/AIDS and sexually transmitted infections (STIs), which was primarily performed among high school students, and also on a number of vulnerable groups, aswell as different age and professional groups. In the last 10 years this has been HERA s contribution to an informal sexuality education in the country, providing one portion of the information with regard to sexuality, for the population ofMacedonia. While such an approach has many advantages, such as the possibility to respond to a communication, enhance the communication among the youth, develop creative expression in the youth, it has becomemore than clear that it is insufficient if it remains by itself . In other words, peer education may play only an ancillary role in the formal process of attaining knowledge and will only play a supporting role in attaining skills, i.e. it stimulates the youngtoapply already acquiredskills, inday today life.
