Communication scientist for interreligious peace initiative

AGIAMONDO

AGIAMONDO e.V. is the personnel service of German Catholics for development cooperation. In the Civil Peace Service, we offer professionals the opportunity for meaningful service in cooperation with local development actors. The Civil Peace Service (ZFD) is a personnel program for violence prevention and peacebuilding in crisis and conflict regions. It is committed to a world in which conflicts are resolved without violence. Together with church and civil society partner organizations in Jordan, AGIAMONDO aims to make a contribution to civil conflict resolution and sustainable, equitable development in the country through peace-building measures.

Jordan is a culturally and religiously diverse country in which around half of the population is of Palestinian origin. In recent years, 1.36 million refugees have arrived from crisis regions such as Iraq and Syria, as well as migrants from East Africa. Many of these people have limited access to education and medical care. Jordan's young population, 63% of whom are under 30 years old, makes the promotion of tolerance and social cohesion particularly important.

URI MENA pursues a bottom-up approach in which interfaith self-organisation groups are strengthened at grassroots level. These groups promote interfaith cooperation and address issues identified by their members. They carry out initiatives in areas such as interfaith dialogue, human rights advocacy, education, community development, humanitarian aid, conflict resolution, environmental sustainability, youth leadership and political advocacy.
