  • Call for applications for the Play for the Lead project

    OPEN CALL FOR ORGANIZATIONS INTERESTED IN CO-DESIGNING AND IMPLEMENTING INITIATIVES TO INCREASE GIRLS AND YOUNG WOMEN’S ACCESS TO AND PARTICIPATION IN SPORT

    The call is open to sport clubs, sport-for-good, and social organizations using sport or physical activity as a core tool, willing to strengthen youth participation practices and empower young women with migrant or refugee backgrounds, asylum seekers, and individuals from ethnically marginalized communities to co-design and implement inclusive sport initiatives in France, Germany, and Spain.

    This call is for organizations to join Play for the Lead, our new project under Playing for Purpose focused on increasing access and participation in sport for Girls and Young Women in Germany, Spain and France. Selected organizations will have access to multi-year financial support to strengthen organizational learning and change – particularly in young people participation – alongside support for co-designing and implementing inclusive sport and physical activity initiatives in collaboration with young women.

    CONTEXT – WHY WE ARE LAUNCHING PLAY FOR THE LEAD

    Girls and young women from underserved communities – specifically those with migrant or refugee backgrounds, asylum seekers, and individuals from ethnically marginalized communities- face structural and gender-specific barriers that limit their access to and participation in sport and physical activity. Sport programs are often not designed with their lived realities in mind highlighting the need for more inclusive, participatory initiatives.

    At the adidas Foundation, we believe that sport can contribute to building fairer, more connected societies when the organizations shaping community sport are equipped to be inclusive. That is why we focus on supporting those organizations by building capacity, centering lived experience, and fostering partnerships grounded in trust. To fulfil this intent, we are launching Play for the Lead, a new project under our Playing for Purpose program.

    Funding Guidelines

    All organizations should review our funding guidelines before submitting their application. Read the full guidelines here.

    Project Model

    The project supports organizations to strengthen their youth participation practices and work in closer collaboration with young women aged 18–25 through a three-year journey. This journey includes organizational capacity strengthening, a dedicated leadership journey for young women, a co-design phase where initiatives are jointly developed, and a two-year implementation and peer learning phase focused on improving access to, quality of, and retention in sport and physical activity for girls and young women from underserved communities, including those with migrant or refugee backgrounds (first- and second-generation), asylum seekers, and individuals from ethnically marginalized communities. Multiyear grants support partners in implementing these actions and strengthening long-term capacity.

    Project Countries

    The project countries are:

    • Germany
    • Spain
    • France

    Why these countries?

    Germany, France, and Spain are highly relevant contexts for this project as they host a large foreign-born population in the EU and are key destinations for asylum seekers. Across all three countries, this group faces intersecting barriers related to gender, migration status, and socioeconomic inequality, which limit their access to safe and inclusive sport opportunities. At the same time, while strong sport and civil society infrastructures exist, they often fail to reach the most marginalized girls.

    SUBMIT YOUR APPLICATION

    Organizations committed to strengthening youth participation and creating more inclusive sport opportunities for girls and young women from underserved communities (including those with migrant or refugee backgrounds (first- and second-generation), asylum seekers, and individuals from ethnically marginalized communities) are encouraged to apply to join the Play for the Lead project.

    Please note that young women that will be part of the project will be identified and selected by the participating organizations from within their own communities.

  • English Copy Editor

    Services: English-language copy-editing of DRI publications, reports, and written outputs 

    Form of Employment: Freelance consultancy contract (framework contract) 

    Closing date: 19 June, 18:00 CET 

    Contract start date: 1 July 2026 

    Contract duration: 2 years with possibility of extension. 

    Location: Remote 

    Background 

    Democracy Reporting International (DRI) is a non-partisan, independent, not-for-profit organisation registered in Berlin. DRI promotes political participation of citizens, accountability of state bodies, and the development of democratic institutions worldwide. 

    DRI produces a substantial volume of written outputs in English: research reports, policy briefing papers, factsheets, web articles, newsletters, annual reports, and advocacy materials. These are produced across a growing portfolio of active projects spanning the rule of law in the European Union, digital democracy, democratic governance in Ukraine, civil society strengthening in sub-Saharan Africa, and political processes across the MENA region and Southeast Asia. 

    DRI’s Communications team (based in Berlin HQ) coordinates the editing and public communications of these materials in close collaboration with programme teams. DRI is building a roster of trusted, experienced English copy editors who can provide fast and high-quality editorial support on a rolling basis. 

    Objectives 

    DRI is seeking an experienced English-language copy editor to join its pool of external editorial consultants. The copy editor will support DRI’s Communications team and programme staff in producing polished, professionally written publications and materials that meet DRI’s editorial standards and reflect the organisation’s voice and values. 

    The copy editor will work under the overall supervision of DRI’s Communications Coordinator and in close cooperation with DRI programme staff, researchers, and authors. 

    Services to be Provided 

    Core copy-editing duties 

    • Copy-edit documents to correct errors in spelling, punctuation, grammar, syntax, and style in accordance with DRI’s house style guide (British English, also informed by The Economist Style Guide). 
    • Review and edit content to improve readability, ensuring that complex policy or research ideas are expressed in clear, plain language suited to a broad, international, non-specialist audience. 
    • Ensure consistency of terminology, style, and voice across multi-author or multi-section documents. 
    • Identify and flag inconsistencies in headings, layout, caption conventions, footnote formatting, and cross-references. 
    • Discuss and resolve substantive editorial queries with authors and the Communications Coordinator; provide light guidance on writing style upon request. 
    • Proofread final layouts (Word files or PDFs) prior to publication, checking for typographical, formatting, or design-stage errors.  

    Enhanced duties 

    • Apply inclusive, bias-free language checks in line with DRI’s gender-sensitive language guidelines, ensuring outputs meet international editorial best practice for non-profit and human-rights contexts. 
    • Review and refine drafts (some may be AI-assisted) for stylistic coherence, tonal consistency, and adherence to DRI’s voice — flagging any content that is factually uncertain or editorially at odds with DRI’s established standards. 
    • Ensure formatting compliance with DRI’s visual identity guidelines where relevant, including heading styles, abbreviation handling, citation formats, and footnote conventions. 
    • Advise the Communications team on persistent style issues or common error patterns observed across a batch of documents to support organisational capacity-building. 

    Deliverables and Timeline 

    The volume and frequency of assignments will vary according to DRI’s editorial pipeline. The copy editor will be engaged on an assignment-by-assignment basis under a framework agreement. Typical deliverables include: 

    • Copy-edited documents returned in tracked-changes format (Microsoft Word) or as otherwise agreed with the Communications Coordinator. 
    • A brief editorial note for longer assignments (reports, annual publications) summarising key issues, consistent errors, and any unresolved queries flagged for the author. These may also be addressed as in-document commentaries.  
    • Final proofreading sign-off for selected publications prior to layout or print, as requested. 

    Typical turnaround times: [2–12 working days] depending on document length, complexity, and urgency. Rush assignments may occasionally be required; these will be agreed in advance. 

    Required Qualifications and Competencies 

    • Native or near-native proficiency in English, with a demonstrable command of British English conventions, spelling, and grammar. 
    • Minimum four years of professional copy-editing or proofreading experience, with a proven track record in publications produced for international, non-profit, policy, or journalistic contexts. 
    • Thorough familiarity with DRI’s house style (British English, based on The Economist Style Guide); prior experience working with DRI or similar international NGOs is an asset. 
    • Experience editing documents in the fields of social sciences, political analysis, law, democratic governance, or human rights. 
    • Excellent attention to detail, a strong editorial eye, and the ability to work accurately under time pressure. 
    • Ability to work independently, meet tight deadlines, and manage editorial feedback diplomatically with non-native English-speaking authors. 
    • Familiarity with inclusive and gender-sensitive language guidelines. 
    • Experience reviewing or copy-editing AI-generated text is considered a strong advantage. 
    • Individual, registered freelancer or self-employed (required for contracting purposes). 

    Recruitment and Onboarding Process 

    DRI follows a structured selection process for new editorial consultants, designed to ensure a high standard of quality and a good mutual fit. The process comprises the following steps: 

    Application submission 

    Interested candidates should submit the following documents by the closing date: 

    • A brief cover letter or expression of interest (maximum one page) describing their editorial experience, typical client base, and approach to copy-editing. 
    • A portfolio containing at least two copy-edited samples from professional engagements in the past three years. Before-and-after samples are strongly preferred. 
    • A curriculum vitae or professional profile. 
    • A financial quotation, including a per-word rate in EUR and, if applicable, a net day rate  

    Editing test 

    Shortlisted candidates will be invited to complete a short, timed editing test (approximately 60 minutes). The test will include a short excerpt typical of DRI’s publications — policy analysis, research findings, or advocacy content. Candidates will be assessed on accuracy, consistency, editorial judgement, and their handling of inclusive language and DRI’s style conventions. 

    Interview 

    Candidates who pass the editing test will be invited to a short virtual interview (approximately 30 minutes) with DRI Communications staff. The interview will cover editorial approach, experience with similar organisations, availability, and capacity to manage the expected workload.  

    Onboarding 

    Selected candidates will receive: 

    • DRI’s house style guide and relevant formatting guidelines. 
    • A brief onboarding call with DRI’s Communications Coordinator to discuss DRI’s editorial workflows, turnaround expectations, and communication norms. 
    • A sample DRI publication for familiarisation with the organisation’s register and content. 

    The selected candidate(s) will establish a framework contract with DRI and will become part of DRI’s editorial consultant roster. They will be contacted for individual assignments as they arise throughout the year. 

    Invoicing and Payments 

    The service provider shall invoice DRI upon the completion of each assignment, referencing the relevant purchase order or framework agreement number. Invoices should clearly indicate the document(s) edited, word count or agreed unit of work, and the applicable rate.  

    Subcontracting 

    The service provider shall not subcontract any part of this engagement without prior written authorisation from DRI, nor cause the contract to be de facto performed by a third party. 

    Freelance status 

    Applicants must hold a formal freelance status or equivalent business registration that enables them to invoice the organization in accordance with local tax and financial regulations 

    How to Apply 

    Interested candidates should submit the following documents in English no later than 19 June 2026 18:00 CET by filling in this form

    • A brief cover letter or expression of interest (maximum one page). 
    • A copy-editing portfolio (at least two professional samples; before-and-after preferred). 
    • A curriculum vitae or professional profile. 
    • Links or documents of at least 2 past written samples.  
    • A financial quotation, including a net day rate and/or per-word rate in EUR (please specify whether prices include VAT or not) 

    Please note that only shortlisted candidates will be contacted for an interview. 

    DRI is committed to diversity and treats everybody equally, independent of gender identity, sex, pregnancy, race, ethnicity, nationality, religion, sexual orientation, age, ability, socio-economic status, political opinion (as long as respectful of democratic principles), or any other status protected by the laws in the locations where we operate.

    Strategic Context:

    Corus International in LAC is implementing a regional strategy to deepen engagement with the private sector and expand its role as a strategic partner in delivering innovative solutions for health, livelihoods, and technology for development.

    Historically, Corus and many development organizations have been perceived primarily as donor-funded implementers. However, the evolving development landscape—combined with growing corporate focus on ESG and shared-value models—has created significant new opportunities for organizations that can deliver integrated, evidence-based solutions at scale.

    To support this transition, Corus LAC is transcending their traditional “project-based” visibility model and requires a sohpisticated positioning strategy that helps establish us as a high-value, trusted partner capable of deliver integrated, evidence-based solutions that align with corporate CSR/ESG priorities.

    Corus LAC’s 2025 market assessment reveals clear demand from corporate actors seeking partners who can integrate innovation into large-scale programs. This presents a critical opportunity for Corus to strengthen its market position and establish itself as a trusted innovation and solutions partner for the regional private sector.

    For this transition, Corus LAC seeks a consultant or consulting firm to design a regional go-to-market and marketpositioning strategy that enables the organization to effectively engage

    corporate stakeholders and expand private sector partnerships across Central and South America.
