Estonian Roundtable for Development Cooperation (AKÜ) is looking to recruit a Partnerships and Events trainee to assist with the organisation of an international conference in Tallinn and any other trainings and events  of the Bridge 47 – Building Global Citizenship project (5 months, full-time).

The Bridge 47 project aims to mobilise global civil society to contribute to global justice and eradication of poverty through global citizenship education. Estonian Roundtable for Development Cooperation (AKÜ) is a not-for-profit with membership of non-governmental organisations that work in the field of development cooperation, global citizenship education or sustainable development.

The Bridge 47 project focuses on the following areas:

1. Bridge 47 network: The project sets up a vibrant global coalition in support of global citizenship.
2. Advocacy at national, EU and global level. The project works to change policies at national, EU and global level to better recognize the essential role of Global Citizenship Education in achieving Agenda 2030, global justice and eradication of poverty. 
3. Development of partnerships: The project creates new partnerships – advocacy, knowledge exchange and exploratory partnerships – with a range of different actors, from policy makers to academia, and from media to police and military, in support of Global Citizenship Education. 
4. Capacity development and innovation: The project builds the capacity of European and civil society organisations to work with and create innovations for Global Citizenship Education.

The project is funded by the European Union. It started in October 2017 and will run until October 2020. The project consortium consists of two global networks (CIVICUS and ICAE), three national development education networks (in France, Ireland and Scotland), six national CSO platforms (in Bulgaria, Estonia, Finland, Germany, Slovakia and Slovenia), three organisations working on GCE (in Cyprus, Denmark and Latvia), and a European research network (EADI).
