Your tasks
Together with the partner organization Pro Terra Sancta, which is affiliated with the Franciscan order, AGIAMONDO is engaged in Jordan within the framework of the Civil Peace Service (CPS) to promote social cohesion and nonviolent conflict transformation. The work places cultural heritage at its center as a living space for encounter, expression and dialogue, particularly for young people and marginalized groups, including refugees.
In this role, you combine professional communication and advocacy work with peacebuilding in a complex social context. You contribute to making local initiatives visible, amplifying the voices of young people and communicating culture-based peace approaches at national and international level in a conflict-sensitive and partnership-oriented manner.
Your main place of assignment is Amman, a modern capital with around 4.5 million inhabitants, well-developed infrastructure, diverse shopping, leisure and cultural opportunities, sports facilities and museums; an international airport is available, and the Dead Sea is less than an hour away. The climate is cool in winter, mild in autumn and hot in spring and summer; the role involves stays and travel within Amman, Madaba, Irbid and Balqa.
Pro Terra Sancta works with a clear bottom-up approach and implements locally rooted educational, cultural and peace initiatives based on participation, dignity and social cohesion. The organization cooperates closely with communities, young people, cultural actors and refugees and understands cultural heritage as a resource for dialogue and peace.
Due to the current security situation, the duty station is only suitable to a limited extent for families with children.
