  UN Volunteers have to complete a series of mandatory courses during onboarding and first weeks of service. The mandatory courses are currently available in English, which can be a hindrance, especially for UN Community Volunteers. With the contribution of the online volunteers, newly recruited UN Volunteers in Brazil and other Portuguese-speaking countries will have access to the content of mandatory United Nations (UN) e-Courses in Portuguese. As a result, it all will contribute to our Diversity & Inclusion agenda in UNV Brazil.
