Intern – Civil Peace Service

Internship Announcement

Working efficiently, effectively and in a spirit of partnership, we support people and societies in developing, transition and industrialized countries in shaping their own futures and improving living conditions. This is what the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) is all about. As a federally owned enterprise, we support the German Government in achieving its objectives in the field of international cooperation for sustainable development. We are also engaged in international education work around the globe.

On behalf of the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) the Civil Peace Service (CPS) of Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH aims to promote peace in regions affected by conflict. In Palestine, CPS runs two parallel programmes which complement each other:

1. CPS Core: Psychosocial support and strengthening of peace discourses in protracted conflicts, and
2. CPS SIGA: Violence prevention, encounter, and exchange with youth from Gaza and West Bank including

East Jerusalem. GIZ Civil Peace Service in Palestine cooperates with local partners with the following goals:

• Promoting the psychosocial well-being of local actors and target groups
• Strengthening the capacities of partner organisations and other civil society actors in opening, maintaining, and shaping safe spaces for children, youth and caregivers, within a context of long standing and ongoing experiences of violence and progressing fragmentation of the Palestinian society
• Supporting opportunities for encounter, exchange, and dialogue across and beyond geographic and social boundaries in the Palestinian context
