The Hiroshima Peacebuilders Centre and the United Nations Volunteers programme have joined forces to take volunteering to a global level by building a human resource base for the region that can promote volunteerism at home and abroad, while at the same time equipping young professionals for richer careers and leadership positions in a more interconnected world. This is the Human Resource Development for Peacebuilding Programme.
Volunteerism is one of the most basic expressions of solidarity and societal cohesion, often arising out of long-established traditions of sharing and reciprocal
exchanges. When the values of volunteerism are structurally integrated into global efforts to eradicate poverty and sustain development and peace, volunteerism becomes a powerful means of engaging people in these challenges. Volunteerism helps transform the pace and nature of development and consolidates
peacebuilding.
