Details

Mission and objectives

Our primary purpose at UNHCR is to safeguard the rights and well-being of people who have been forced to flee. Together with partners and communities, we work to ensure that everybody has the right to seek asylum and find safe refuge in another country. We also strive to secure lasting solutions. For over half a century, UNHCR has helped millions of people to restart their lives. They include refugees, returnees, stateless people, the internally displaced and asylum-seekers. Our protection, shelter, health and education has been crucial, healing broken pasts and building brighter futures.

Context

At UNHCR Romania – HR and External Relations Departments, we create content to inform and engage our staff. We share these contents periodically through a newsletter. Additionally, we are working on developing a centralized hub of information (communication site) using available tools in Microsoft Office. Finally, we are preparing for the World Refugee Day in terms of creating communication materials. We believe that enhancing the visuals and design of these contents will make the information more understandable and facilitate better perception. Therefore, we are seeking a short-term online volunteer to support us professionally in designing through tools like Canva, Microsoft Office including SharePoint, or similar programs. Our volunteer team member, with whom we will be collaborating, will be part of tasks aimed at creating covers, infographics, calendars, posters and formatting designs and SharePoint pages. Even for a short period, he/she will get familiar to the work of an international organization and will get to explore their creativity and be able to experiment different ideas in impactful projects.
