In the Civil Peace Service we offer professionals the opportunity for meaningful service in cooperation with local development actors. The Civil Peace Service (ZFD) is a personnel program for violence prevention and peacebuilding in crisis and conflict regions. It works for a world in which conflicts are settled without violence.

In order to support the Diocese of Ipiales in its peace education work with young people and their socio-political analysis, we are looking for a

Your new field of activity

Since the peace agreement signed with FARC in 2016, many of the former combatants have laid down their arms. Nevertheless, many armed groups remain active throughout the country, pursuing different political and economic interests.

In rural areas, these groups try to strengthen their forces by recruiting young people and using them for their own purposes.

It is very difficult for young people to resist these recruitments, both because of a lack of other income opportunities and because of a lack of educational opportunities.

Lack of political influence and a life in a perpetuating threat situation prevent in many cases a self-determined life.

With your help, the Pastoral Social Ipiales would like to strengthen and expand the accompaniment and promotion of the youth groups (age The adolescents and young adults should get a clearer picture and understanding of their own reality.

Through the use of pedagogical methods, they should help support local peace initiatives and implement their own non-violent and self-determined life plans.


Specifically, you will take on the following tasks:

  • Accompany and support existing youth groups and young adults. Through the conscious introduction of peace pedagogical methods, you will help them to recognize their potential and perspectives, promote an ecological awareness as well as their self-determination.
  • Assist youth and young adults in developing conflict and contextual analysis and planning transformative actions to promote peace and their own life aspirations.
  • Providing knowledge and methods for sociopolitical analysis and contextualization in the region to the competent bodies in social pastoral care.
  • Support civil society (e.g. local peace committees) in the communities to strengthen their political participation and local peace work.
  • Financial responsibility (proper spending and management) on the ground together with the Diocese of Ipiales according to donor guidelines and AGIAMONDO requirements.

  • You bring knowledge in peace pedagogical methods, especially for the promotion of political participation.
