Working together with AGIAMONDO and CALDH
The Centro para la Acciön Legal en Derechos Humanos (CALDH) is one of Guatemala's most renowned human rights organisations. The organisation supports the legal investigation of human rights violations committed during the civil war and promotes processes of historical remembrance, human rights education, and social dialogue.
The Casa de la Memoria “Kaji Tulam,” which is operated by CALDH, is a place for shared learning and remembrance. There, young people, teachers, and members of historically marginalised communities explore the causes and consequences of armed conflict and develop visions for a more just and peaceful society.
You will work in Guatemala City. The city offers good infrastructure, a wide range of recreational activities, and high-quality medical care. Due to its high elevation, the climate is mild year-round.
The security situation requires caution. In addition to general crime, the sensitive political context surrounding human rights and remembrance work must be taken into account. Business trips within the country will be a regular part of your job.
