Call for applications – Opportunity for digital employment-Danish Refugee Council عودة إلى الفرص

Introduction

The Danish Refugee Council (DRC) has been working in Tunisia since 2011 as part of a coordinated Libya-Tunisia program responding to regional instability following 2010’ revolution. DRC has been one of the main implementing agencies providing services in Shousha refugee camp, as well as to refugees living in urban centers in southern Tunisia. Since 2014, DRC has been implementing a series of armed violence reduction projects aimed at enhancing community security and resilience in key border towns in Tunisia. In 2018, DRC expanded its community safety programming from Ben Guerdane and Dehiba, Tunisia, across the border into the Libyan border cities of Zuwara, Nalut, and Wazin. This ongoing intervention seeks to address border management holistically, investing in analyzing the full system of dynamics that cause tension within and across communities and which fuels insecurity and illicit trade throughout the border region.

DRC Tunisia has been additionally engaged in protection activities benefiting to the migrant population in the south through cash-based interventions and ad hoc assistance actions such as back to school assistance to primary schools in borderland areas hosting refugee children.

Context

The Digital Race for Employment and Mobility (DREAM) is an ambitious program targeting creatives and graphic design enthusiasts that seeks to connect young Tunisians, migrants, refugees and/or asylum seekers trained and/or interested in Graphic Design with online digital income generating opportunities in the graphic design industry via an existing online platform where clients post their designing needs.
