Peer feedback allows young people to learn from one another while strengthening communication and collaboration skills. When youth share constructive observations about each other’s work, they begin to see learning as a shared experience.
Adults can guide this process by teaching youth how to give respectful and helpful feedback. Encouraging comments such as “I liked how you…” or “Have you thought about trying…” helps maintain a supportive tone.
Peer feedback also encourages reflection. Youth often gain new insights about their work when they hear another perspective.
These interactions help build confidence, respect, and teamwork within the group.
Child Champions understand that youth can learn a great deal from one another. By encouraging thoughtful peer feedback, adults create environments where young people collaborate, support each other, and grow together.
