Context

The UNITAR Division for Prosperity is launching new training programmes, reaching out to more people who need learning opportunities for their communities and countries. Each participant in our training programmes has different background and history; thus, publishing each participants' story will make a positive impact on future participants. Support by motivated Online Volunteers will help the Division better provide success stories and encourage future participants.

Task description

The UNITAR Division for Prosperity is looking for support from motivated Online Volunteers with previous experience in journalistic writing. Specifically, Online Volunteers are asked to support us with the writing of a participant story based on written reports and/or interviewed materials. The article to be developed is a +/- 3-page story in English that describes the impact of our training programmes. While the basic information and interviewed materials will be provided, Online Volunteers are expected to conduct preparatory research about the background information such as the current situations of the countries/areas where our participants are in/from, and relevant topics in the fields of the programmes.
