Mission and objectives

UNESCO's founding mission, which was shaped by the events of World War II, is to advance peace, sustainable development and human rights by facilitating collaboration and dialogue among nations.[It pursues this objective through five major programme areas: education, natural sciences, social/human sciences, culture and communication/information. UNESCO sponsors projects that improve literacy, provide technical training and education, advance science, protect independent media and press freedom, preserve regional and cultural history, and promote cultural diversity.

UNESCO assists in the translation and dissemination of world literature, helps establish and secure World Heritage Sites of cultural and natural importance, works to bridge the worldwide digital divide, and creates inclusive knowledge societies through information and communication.[14] UNESCO has launched several initiatives and global movements, such as Education For All.

Context

The Tech Volunteers for Resilience (Tech4R) programme mobilizes skilled digital volunteers to co-create open-source tools that strengthen resilience, recovery, and inclusive education.
This assignment supports the Gamified and Simulation-Based Safety Trainings for Children project, co-implemented by Tech4R and UNESCO Ukraine, to build an interactive learning platform that teaches children aged 10–16 safe responses to emergencies such as air raids, shelling, and unexploded ordnance (UXO).

The project combines interactive gamified storylines and AR simulations to make safety education emotionally engaging and effective
The Content & Narration Volunteers will be responsible for writing, adapting, and localizing narrative content, dialogue, and voiceover text in collaboration with education and psychology teams, ensuring all messages are clear, age-appropriate, and supportive of psychological well-being

• Draft storylines and dialogue for the gamified learning modules.
• Adapt technical or safety content into engaging, age-appropriate narratives.
• Collaborate with educators and psychological safety volunteers to ensure tone, phrasing, and emotional neutrality.
• Write short descriptive scripts for the AR simulation mode, focusing on calm, step-by-step behavioral guidance.
• Support translation and localization of text content for multilingual delivery (Ukrainian, Russian, English).
• Contribute to developing voiceover scripts and ensuring consistency across visual and auditory learning elements.
