Your cooperation with AGIAMONDO and Sabeel

Responsible and challenging

AGIAMONDO is the personnel service of the German Catholic community for international cooperation. Within the Civil Peace Service (CPS), we offer professionals the opportunity to engage in meaningful service in collaboration with local development actors.

The Civil Peace Service (CPS) is a program for violence prevention and peacebuilding in crisis and conflict regions worldwide. For many years, CPS has supported civil society organizations in developing non-violent conflict resolution approaches, strengthening human rights and accompanying communities affected by trauma. CPS work is based on partnership, trust and long-term commitment. Professionals contribute their expertise, learn from local experience and help strengthen structures for peaceful coexistence.

Sabeel is an ecumenical center for liberation theology based in Jerusalem. The organization operates at the intersection of theology, human rights and international law and promotes interreligious education and dialogue processes.

In a context where religion is increasingly instrumentalized to legitimize exclusive claims, Sabeel creates shared spaces for learning and dialogue among religious actors, aiming to strengthen human rights as a universal reference framework and to mobilize religious voices for a just peace.

The position is based in Jerusalem. While the city generally offers good infrastructure, it is currently characterized by a dynamic security situation. Due to limited flexibility for short-term relocation, this position is not suitable for families with children and is primarily aimed at single individuals or couples without children.

Work-related travel, including to the West Bank, is part of the role and is carried out in a context-sensitive manner and in line with security regulations.
