Details

Art in Tanzania's Children's Agenda program focuses on Children's and Women's Rights. We also have a Rights team consisting of our team members, private Tanzanian people such as lawyers, other rights-oriented citizens and participating interns and volunteers.

Practical work includes advocacy, attending seminars, teaching, and gaining visibility. Rights issues are always sensitive, and teamwork and networking are essential.

A consortium of Tanzanian NGOs, including UNICEF, Save the Children, and others, developed and ran the Children's Agenda program chaired by the Ministry of Community Work Gender and Children.

We use our social media pages for advocacy work, and our Facebook pages have more than 50K followers.

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 to learn to use and get experience implementing your education in developing country conditions with limited capacitation. Also, to better understand the opportunities in a fast-growing economy.

Interns work in teams of international students and volunteer professionals. They work 6-8 hours per day, Monday through Friday.

The program is ongoing, so we can adjust your start dates. We accept applications from all students and alums. Your placement is tailored to your background, experience, and interests to empower our daily work with the communities. Your program term is adjustable. You can also go ahead and do the thesis and related tasks.

The typical daily tasks include practical fieldwork, planning, reporting, and visibility.
