Description of the Organization

Peer leader International (PLI) is a youth project for the realization of the „general explanation of the human rights“ and for the sustainability goals (SDGs) of Rio20. Besides the main location in the East Frisian Ostrhauderfehn there is an additional Peer leader's team in Brunswick, as well as in South Africa (Pretoria/city of Tshwane, Winterveld), Brazil (Visconde de Mauá) Bosnia-Herzegovina (Banja Luka) and soon in the Ukraine, further in Israel, Egypt, Tunisia, in Malawi and Uganda.

Peer leader-International gives young people between 12 and 26 years the opportunity to try out and get to know new things, to prepare a self-determined, engaged and cosmopolitan life. The main focus is to learn and have fun through personal responsibility and joint work of charitable projects.

Peer leaders are involved in the areas of FairPlanet, Health, Climate, Escape and Human rights, Participation. Since 2017 the project "an extracurricular learning place of the federal state Lower Saxony" is operated in many schools.
