This is a UNV contract. More about UNV contracts.

UNITAR has created the Changemakers Series for everyone who is interested in discovering their inner talents and capacity to start a positive change in the world. More than 40 students have enrolled in the flagship course "Explore Your Changemaker Potential," which was introduced in November 2021. In order to close the access gap caused by language obstacles, the course is being offered in seven different languages. It is crucial that we step up our efforts to keep promoting the Series on our social media channels in order to guarantee maximum inclusion and a larger reach. The Youth and Women Empowerment team has produced a draught of promotion contents in English to be uploaded on the platforms in order to facilitate this promotion and encourage more individuals around the world to enrol in the course.

We are looking for three online volunteers who will be willing to translate and proofread written outputs pertaining to the Changemakers Series from English to Portuguese. Weekly tasks are estimated to 1,250 words for translation and 8 pages for proofreading. Deadlines for respective tasks will be mutually agreed upon.

Previous experience in translation (English-Portuguese & Portuguese-English); Knowledge of the UN terminology and terminology related to Youth, Peace and Security, Women, Peace and Security, entrepreneurship, education, capacity building; Previous experience in translation for international organizations is desirable.
