The volume presents guidelines that are referenced by the majority of European countries to implement the projects of peer education in different fields from education to law to education to health to the prevention of addictions, to the expansion of educational and training.

Compared to prevention strategies for information only the peer education promotes "the recognition of the right and duty of young people to take responsibility for their own health and their education."

The text provides the theoretical references and operational tools to start a project of education in life skills (the skills psychosocial) using the methodology of peer education. Use peer education means choosing an educational strategy to create effective learning environments in different new relational dynamics, greater involvement of young people and a genuine sharing of the educational objectives. In fact develop life skills through peer education can increase levels of self-esteem and trigger virtuous circles between capacity and feelings of self-worth.
