Details
Art in Tanzania has been active since 1996. Our community placements attract approximately 250 participants each year. Our vision is to provide students with hands-on experience in developing African communities. In addition to your studies, you will have an unforgettable, once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to experience African culture, life, its stunning natural beauty, and diverse wildlife.
Many participating students and graduates are conducting Research and Thesis work in Tanzania. You can perform these tasks in addition to your internship duties.
We tailor these programs to your needs, and Art in Tanzania provides support, including data entry and meeting arrangements to facilitate your research and thesis work.
You can find information about our programs on the Internship and Volunteering pages.
If you are interested in conducting your research-thesis work in Tanzania, please get in touch with Mr Kari Korhonen at kari@artintanzania.org to discuss planning.
Academic-level team leaders oversee your daily work. We also track your progress using a weekly planning and reporting system to ensure your success in your placement work.
The start and end dates are flexible, as all programs are ongoing, with many having been running since 1996.
You and your visiting friends can enjoy affordable, eco-friendly safaris and tours.
We typically have 15 to 40 students from various parts of the world, representing over 1000 universities with which we collaborate, as well as a diverse range of professions.
Note that Erasmus+ funding can be applied for the Tanzania training. You can ask your student office about the grant options.
