Questions you may have
Fulfilling Jobs for Peace is still taking shape. Some answers will become clearer as young people begin to lead the conversations. Here is what we know now.
Fulfilling Jobs for Peace brings young people together to explore the links between work, dignity, agency and peace.
We start with the person. Young people should have more space to understand what matters to them, learn with others, and shape their own paths toward work that meets real needs and lets them contribute.
01
What is Fulfilling Jobs for Peace?
What do you mean by fulfilling work?
02
Our starting idea is work that provides income and dignity while giving someone some room to grow and contribute in ways that matter to them. That is not a final definition.
One purpose of the initiative is to hear how young people themselves understand fulfilling work.
No.
We are not currently placing people into jobs or recruiting for employers.
We create spaces where young people can understand themselves, learn with others, explore possibilities, and share what they discover.
Is this a job-placement programme?
03
Are you only interested in formal jobs?
04
No.
We are interested in formal employment, informal work, entrepreneurship, creative work, family businesses and other ways young people earn and contribute.
We are starting with the first cohort and the people and communities they are already connected to.
There is no fixed country expansion plan. What we learn will help decide what happens next.
05
Where are you starting?
What is the role of the first cohort?
06
The first cohort will test the questions, try different ways of listening, learn from people in their networks and help shape what Fulfilling Jobs for Peace becomes.
They are not expected to represent all young people.
Not at this stage.
You can take part in different ways, from sharing your experience to joining or convening a conversation.
If a future opportunity has limited places, we will explain clearly how people can express interest.
07
Do I need to apply?
Do you provide funding?
08
No. Fulfilling Jobs for Peace is not currently a grant-making programme.
Over time, connections made through the initiative may help people discover useful organisations or opportunities, but participation should not be understood as an application for funding
Will conversations be recorded?
09
Not always.
We may keep notes so that we can learn across conversations. If we record or share audio, video, or identifiable stories, people should know why and agree beforehand.
Can I contribute to the website?
10
As the initiative develops, we expect the website to become a place where young people can share stories, questions, useful practices and what they are learning.
We will review contributions before publication to keep the space respectful, safe, and useful.
