Summary
Art in Tanzania is developing children’s and youth sports programs in the villages in Tanzania. The main focus is on youth football and on girls’ sports activities.
Details
Tanzanian communities lack the capacity to run children’s and youth sports programs.
Commonly children make their football grounds themselves and play with makeshift balls. Organized coaching is not developed. We develop structures for village tournaments and select talented children for more advanced training. Tanzanian sports teachers voluntarily assist in the program and our task is to develop a proper football education system.
We are also developing girls’ teams and diversified coaching of other team sports.
We are also developing Community Training, which takes place on weekends.
Interns help to structure the program, to train our Tanzanian coaches, advise about sports in schools, perform coaching activities with the local coaches, and to organize tournaments. This is becoming more popular in Tanzania and is a part of the Public Health approach.
Interns work in a team of international and Tanzanian multi-professional interns. We also assist youth academy development with experienced national team footballers together with Liverpool FC. Art in Tanzania Sports Team tutors this program.
We use our social media pages for advocacy work and our Facebook pages have more than 50K followers.
Your internship is being daily supervised by academic level team leaders. We monitor your work with a weekly plan and report system to secure you proceed well in your study program.
The internship outcome is to learn to use and to get experience to implement 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. 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 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 be from 2 weeks up to 12 months. You can also conduct thesis and related tasks. The common daily tasks include practical fieldwork, planning, reporting, and visibility tasks.
We provide 2x the local minimum wage of USD 100 per month for paid internships payable when you stay a minimum of 4 weeks.
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 sustainable tourism, safaris, and local tour options at a low cost.
To book you in and to open your personal account, we need your tentative arrival and departure dates that can be adjusted.
