Details

The online volunteer will support and advise UNITAR about the 3D printing of a mock-up simulation village with buildings, tents and huts. The volunteer will guide UNITAR on the creation of the 3D models and their necessary features so they can be printed. In addition, the volunteer will advise on the types of material and printers that could be used for this project. Potentially, if the volunteer has access to a printer and is able to do so, he/she will print some of the models.

The Division for Peace strives to support the (re)establishment of peaceful, just and inclusive societies by enabling individuals, institutions and organisations to contribute meaningfully to sustainable peace. UNITAR’s Pre-Deployment Training & Advisory Team (PDTA) delivers training to thousands of peacekeepers from a variety of troop contributing countries. This training focuses on a broad range of peacekeeping related topics, such as protection of civilians; protection of human rights and women, peace and security.
