Peer Lead

Who are we?

Peer Lead was launched in 2020 to strengthen the capacities of alumni as agents of change in Myanmar. It provides equal opportunities for former students to continue learning, engaging, and serving marginalized communities, contributing to positive and lasting change. Through this initiative, many alumni have taken the lead in supporting various groups, including students, children, farmers, and women. The Alumni Unit was established with the goal of connecting, co-creating, and empowering alumni to sustain their efforts in their communities. Peer Lead has supported alumni in several ways, including:

• Offering professional development support
• Conducting research projects (such as Higher Education Research, Alumni as Agents of Change in the New Myanmar, Women Leadership, and Re-Thinking Peace in Myanmar)
• Providing financial grants, ongoing guidance, and capacity-building for various projects across the country
• Offering well-being support to our community
• Developing a research guidebook
• Collecting alumni stories post-coup
• Creating online safe spaces for community interaction and sharing
• Launching a podcast channel to amplify voices

E-learning platform

Peer Lead offers a research online course based on its Research Guidebook - Research from Start to Finish: an Introductory Guide for Myanmar Adults, written by Anna Delany, LLM, and Radka Antalikova, PhD, based on years of experience teaching and research to students in Myanmar. Our team researcher, Hsar Hay Gay, has transformed the Guidebook into an e-learning platform to facilitate the learning process of those interested. The Peer Lead online course provides a flexible learning environment to suit students' needs. You may go at your own pace throughout the course. This Peer Lead online course is free of charge and provides flexible content, supporting alumni and their communities learning journey and dream realization.
