This company is an organisation for international cooperation and solidarity that aims to change beliefs that lead to hatred and violence. To do this, we’ve joined forces with hundreds of partner organisations in Africa, Asia and Latin America. With people who dare to go against the current, who stick their necks out and stand up for justice, inclusion and equality. Together we facilitate dialogue between people on each side of a conflict. We inspire consideration and discussion of harmful beliefs, so that mutual hatred and mistrust can decrease. Our team in The Hague consists of about 30 people who work daily with passion and commitment, on building a world without violence.

For the JISRA programme, we are looking for a communication intern

Aantal uur: In consultation
Duration: 4-6 months
Start: january or february 2025

this company is implementing a 5-year program, the Joint Initiative for Strategic Religious Action (JISRA), to promote freedom of religion or belief in seven countries in Africa and Asia. The programme is run with four other consortium partners and multiple local partners. This company is the Lead organisation of the international JISRA consortium, coordinating the joint communications and campaigns. 
The Arabic word Jisr’ means bridge, which perfectly symbolises what JISRA aims to do: build bridges between divided communities. The JISRA consortium works with a great variety of local faith-based actors, partners, networks, youth organisations and women’s organisations to support, capacitate and amplify inclusive voices and policies. The unique composition allows JISRA to work within faith communities as well as with high level decision makers.
