Corporate Social Responsibility Internship in Africa

Summary

Art in Tanzania and its partners work with Tanzanian corporate and government institutions to address Corporate Social Responsibility issues, including actions against climate change.

Details

Art in Tanzania has been operating since 1996. Our community placements attract about 250 participants annually. Our vision is to give students hands-on experience working in developing African communities. In addition to your studies, you will have an unforgettable once-in-a-lifetime experience of African culture and life, as well as fantastic nature and wildlife.

Private citizens' social responsibility is commonly well-recognized and introduced in school curriculums and public advocacy programs in the Western world.

The Tanzanian public is unaware of corporate social responsibility issues, so corporate policies commonly don't take them seriously.

At the same time, Tanzania is one country where climate change strongly affects the agriculture-based economy. But, in fairness, many people do not understand climate change issues either.

This program aims to educate the schools and the public about social responsibility and deliver the message in the schools with the help of the Tanzanian business community.

We currently work with entities such as Dar es Salaam University, TWIGA Cement, Airtel, PVC, NBC Bank, and Coca-Cola, extending the program further. The field operations include working in a tree nursery and partaking in planting operations.

This program has a cross-cutting focus where students of different professions can attend and work together.

Academic-level team leaders supervise your internship daily. We also monitor your work with a weekly plan and report system to ensure your progress in your study program.

The internship outcome is learning to use and get experience implementing your education in developing country conditions with limited capacity and a better understanding of the opportunities in a fast-growing economy.

Work hours are 6-8 hours per day, Monday through Friday. Your program can be from 2 weeks up to 12 months.

The program is ongoing, so we can adjust your placement dates freely.

Your placement is tailored to your background, experience, and interests to empower our daily work with the communities. You can also do the thesis and related tasks.

The typical day-to-day tasks include practical fieldwork, planning, reporting, and visibility.

The start and end dates are flexible and accommodate other travel arrangements in Tanzania.

You and your visiting friends can enjoy low-cost, sustainable tours and safaris.

The Benefits and Perks are as follows:

Accommodation and meals are personal expenses. For 1-13 weeks, EUR 175 per week covers accommodation with breakfast and dinner and the student compound, and from week 14 onwards, it is EUR 125 weekly.

A charity visa for immigration, which costs USD 50, is a personal expense. A multiple-entry visa for less than 12 months is USD 250.

Flights are a personal expense.
