Summary
Art in Tanzania and its partners work with Tanzanian corporate and government institutions to tackle Corporate Social Responsibility issues, including actions against climate change.
 
Details
In the Western world, private citizens' social responsibility is commonly recognized and introduced in school curricula and public advocacy programs.
 
In Tanzania, private citizens' social responsibility is poorly known, and the public is not informed about climate change. Corporate policies don't seriously consider social responsibility issues.

At the same time, Tanzania is one country where climate change strongly affects the agriculture-based economy.

 This program's goal is to educate the schools and the public about social responsibility and to deliver the message in the schools with the help of the Tanzanian business community.
 
Presently, we work with entities such as Dar es Salaam University, TWIGA Cement, Airtel, PVC, NBC Bank, and Coca-Cola, and we are extending the program further. The field operations include working in a tree nursery and planting operations.
 
This program has a cross-cutting focus where students of different professions can attend and work together.
 
Your internship is supervised daily by academic-level team leaders. We monitor your work with a weekly plan and report system to ensure your success in your study program.
 
The internship outcome is to learn to use and get experience implementing your education in developing country conditions with limited capacity and to better understand the opportunities in a fast-growing economy.
 
Interns work in teams of international students and volunteer professionals. We encourage innovation in the program approach. Work hours are 6-8 hours per day, Monday through Friday.
 
This is an ongoing program, so we can adjust your start dates. We accept the applications of all students and alumni. Your placement is tailored according to your background, experience, and interests to empower our daily work with the communities. Your program can last from 2 weeks to 12 months. You can also write a thesis and do related tasks. The typical daily tasks include practical fieldwork, planning, reporting, and visibility.

The start and end dates are flexible and can also accommodate other travel arrangements in Tanzania. International flights, student permits, accommodation, and meals are personal costs.

You and your visiting friends can enjoy cheaply sustainable tourism, safaris, and local tour options.

We need your tentative arrival and departure dates, which you can adjust, to book you in and open your personal account.
