Summary
Art in Tanzania's Media Department utilises digital media outlets, including social media, web pages, and blogs, to promote its programs and educate the public.
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 natural scenery and wildlife.
Interns experience daily life in Tanzania while witnessing the growth of one of Africa's fastest-growing economies.
We use social media to increase the program's visibility to the public and as a digital marketing tool. We often use it to provide information about our work in the communities.
Our Facebook pages have more than 50k followers and a strong presence among the Tanzanian public.
We highlight media in network development and continually strive to develop tools that reach our target groups in universities and the private sector.
Our media tools include the arts, music, and film. We also offer an immersive experience for students who desire to use innovative and creative African media tools.
Our media is focused on advocacy, visibility, and marketing. We also provide the program with in-country orientation, training, and academic tutoring.
Academic-level team leaders supervise your daily internship. We also monitor the weekly planner to ensure your progress in your work and report on your study program.
The internship outcome is learning to apply your education and gain experience implementing it in developing-country conditions with limited capacity, as well as a better understanding of the opportunities in a fast-growing economy.
Work hours are 6–8 hours per day, Monday through Friday.
The program is ongoing, so the start dates are adjustable. Your placement is tailored to your background, experience, and interests, empowering us to work closely with the communities daily.
Daily tasks include practical fieldwork, planning, reporting, and visibility work.
The start and end dates are flexible, as all programs are ongoing, with many having run since 1996.
You and your visiting friends can enjoy low-cost, sustainable safaris and tours.
We typically have 15–40 students from diverse parts of the world, representing over 400 universities with which we collaborate, as well as various professions.
Note that Erasmus+ funding can be applied for the Tanzania training. You can ask your student office about the grant options.
