Conducive Space for Peace (CSP) and Danish Centre for Conflict Resolution (DCCR) are now recruiting an intern to support our work related to peacebuilding, promotion of equity and conflict resolution. The intern’s time will be shared between the two organisations, which are located at the same address. The new colleague will support:

Conducive Space for Peace is an international NGO registered in Denmark. CSP works as a connector and accompanier, taking forward initiatives for change through analysis, network building, training, and reimagining processes that catalyse systems change for peace and equity. CSP strives to embody the change that we pursue, which means that we hold equity at the core of our engagement and actions.

DCCR is a non-profit and non-governmental organisation founded in 1994. It has since then been a forum for courses, educations, counselling, mediation and projects on and about conflict resolution. We provide courses, mediation, offer counseling and provide tailor-made solutions for companies, institutions and private individuals.
