UNOPS has signed an agreement with the United Nations to implement the project activities for the Alliance of civilization.
The “Peer-to-peer capacity-building training between Young Religious Leaders and Young Media Makers” seeks to enhance the capacity of young religious leaders and young media professionals to collaborate on social media to mediate sectarian tensions, to create meaningful messages to counter terrorist narratives, and to promote social cohesion. The project is being implemented in collaboration between the United Nations Alliance of Civilizations (UNAOC) and the United Nations Office of Counter-Terrorism (UNOCT) / the United Nations Center on Counter-Terrorism (UNCCT).
Through capacity-building activities and exclusive conversations with high-level stakeholders, the project aims at strengthening participants’ knowledge and skills in using religious material and interreligious dialogue to counter terrorist narratives online, to mediate sectarian tensions, and promote social cohesion at the community level. Together, participants will work on creating and disseminating religious media literacy tools to counter terrorist narratives and to foster social cohesion. They will also become better equipped to advocate for stronger collaboration between media professionals, religious leaders, and policy makers in the field of interfaith dialogue.
In that context, UNOPS is looking for a Web Graphic Designer to assist with the development of a website or microsite, which will showcase the participants’ social media campaigns as well as the different outputs produced during the project.
The incumbent will work remotely and tentatively start on May 3, 2021. Evaluation of qualified candidates will include an assessment exercise, which will be followed by a competency-based interview.
The incumbent of this position will be a personnel of UNOPS under its full responsibility.
