About the program

Art in Tanzania complies with the Children's Agenda Tanzania program, focusing on children's and women's rights. We also have the Art in Tanzania Rights team, including our team members, private Tanzanian people as lawyers and other rights-oriented citizens, and participating interns and volunteers.

The practical work involves advocacy, seminars, teaching, and visibility. Rights issues are always sensitive, and teamwork and networking are essential. Children’s Agenda program coalition includes UNICEF, Save the Children, and others, and the Ministry of Community Work Gender and Children chairs it.

We are looking to hire multi-professional students and interns to support our work. We tailor posts according to the participant's focus, interests and skills.

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. Children's Agenda is an ongoing program, and we can adjust start dates.

Fieldwork takes place in the schools and community groups. Academic graduate team leaders guide the program.

Typical day

Typical working hours are from AM 9 to PM 1630, but we may also have seminars and meetings in the evenings and on weekends. The nature of the work is to follow the time the target groups are free.


The participant will develop human rights materials to study the present legislation and its changes. ..

Typical day

Typical working hours are from AM 9 to PM 1630, but we may also have seminars and meetings in the evenings and on weekends. The nature of the work is to follow the time the target groups are free.


The participant will develop human rights materials to study the present legislation and its changes. Some rights issues, such as LGTB rights, are sensitive in Africa and must be adjourned accordingly. 

Much of the work involves advocating for implementing the present human rights laws. The common public does not know its rights, and we support vulnerable groups such as women, children, and disabled people. You will use existing tool kits for seminars, develop them, and create new ones.

Much time will be spent on visibility. For example, Facebook is an excellent tool for reaching Tanzanians. Art in Tanzania's Facebook page has 38k likes, and we can deliver information to tens of thousands of Tanzanians.

Accommodation

When you book your trip through AIT, you will have the experience of a lifetime while supporting the local Tanzania community. Art In Tanzania is part of the Children's Agenda Tanzania Program, and volunteers and interns are needed to assist us in the program management and implementation with partners such as UNICEF, Save the Children, and SOS International, among others.
