For the first time ever, we are opening up the opportunity for volunteers to join an official delegation to a United Nations conference discussing human rights, and helping to shape the future. UN Women UK is inviting you to sign up to get more engaged in international policy, and have your voice heard.Commission on the Status of Women (CSW) is an annual meeting of Member States at the United Nations, to make progress on global equality. This opportunity is NOT open only to people who identify as women, but is perfect for anyone with an interest in human rights, or global politics and development.
It consists of two weeks of meetings of high-level government ministers, representatives from NGOs and UN delegates, as well as hundreds of events set up by grassroots organisations and activists to discuss and make progress on specific issues, from child marriage to equal pay. There is a central theme each year - this year's theme is women's leadership - but the events running alongside the Member State meetings cover a huge range of topics and areas of passion.
Progress and gaps are discussed, and at the end of the two weeks a policy document is produced containing specific recommendations for the future of women’s and girls’ place in society. Member States agree on and sign up to this document together, and create action plans to put the recommendations into effect.
UN Women UK usually has a limited delegation of a few people who go to the UN headquarters in person to participate in the event. For the first time ever, the event will take place online - so we have been given the opportunity to expand this to democratise our delegation. This is a once in a lifetime opportunity to become an official delegate to a United Nations event, joining from your own computer or phone at home. This means you can witness all the high-level negotiations, as well as attending and participating in the full choice of over 400 side events on different topics, and UN Women UK briefings just for our delegates.
We think it is really important that more people understand what happens at the United Nations and how they can have their voice heard, so we would really love to have a wide group of talented employees signing up to this opportunity. We hope you will be able to join!
Please note that while this opportunity is predominantly aimed at people in the United Kingdom and Ireland, events will happen on a rolling basis, so if employees are currently overseas this should not prevent them from signing up to be part of the delegation.

Slow Ways is an initiative to create network of walking routes that connect all of Great Britain's towns and cities.During the first 2020 lockdown a team of 700 volunteers drafted 7,000 walking routes that collectively stretch for over 7,000km.
We now need as many volunteers as possible to walk, review and verify the routes to make sure they work on the ground. We'd love to hear from people who can help to share the story of the Slow Ways and make them part of our culture.
To volunteer you must be able to read a map or be in a group with someone who can. You should also feel confident walking the distance you choose to cover. In England the average route is 12km while in Scotland they are closer to 18km. Hundreds of the routes are 5km or less
With routes connecting all of Great Britain's towns and cities there is likely to be a Slow Way near you.
You could volunteer to walk a single Slow Way route or, if you are feeling ambitious, could set yourself a challenge to combine multiple routes to go on a long distance journey.
Up for helping us create a national walking network for millions of people to enjoy and benefit from? Please do sign up on our website at www.slowways.uk.

Agile Project Manager for Nature Counter by CrowdDoing.worldWe are seeking this project manager volunteer to support our Nature Counter team in spreading adoption for biophelia as a public health benefit. We are building an app and need project managers to help us with this impact goal.
120 minutes a week in nature is a basic minimal nature dose every person in a city should achieve as a matter of public health. 90 minutes a day five days a week every week is an optimal recommended dose of nature for every person in a city. CrowdDoing studied biophelia in cities and found that there are more than one hundred diseases that can be prevented through access to nature. Nature Counter is a CrowdDoing concept, imminently to become a functional prototype that lets each person see if they are getting that level of time in nature per week or per month. Time in nature is approximated through the kind of nature that exists in cities- geo-locations of people based on their cell phones when they are in parks. Nature Counter tracks each person’s time in park when the application is on. This allows people to track it the way step counters track it. The aim is to have a universal public health goal of getting the city’s people to have enough time in parks to realize the biophelia collective health dividend. The concept is that nature is both an individual activity and a collective goal that friends should encourage each-other to achieve. Nature Counter is aimed at getting each person to track their time in nature and adjust their calendar over time to increase their time in nature. Our estimations are that people’s time in nature would rise if they could track this and have target goals for their health due to time in nature accordingly.
Biophelia counter builds off of the evidence that people who use step counters walk 27% more than people who don’t. http://www.nbcnews.com/id/21901412/ns/health-fitness/t/people-walk-mile-more-if-wearing-pedometer/ Assuming Nature Counter can achieve similar results for biophelia, whatever percentage of the city who downloaded the nature counter application. Assuming that San Francisco residents visit parks at an average level, they would visit parks 29 times a year- https://www.nrpa.org/blog/29-number-of-times-americans-visit-their-local- parks-annually/. Assuming the minimal dose goal, each person would need to increase that by another 40% to get to an average of a weekly visit to a local park and experience of biophelia. Each person would need to expand that dose by 1000% to reach the optimal dose. This is where a biophelia counter can come it and help people reach for more biophelia time in their lives.
