Art in Tanzania uses social media outlets for program visibility and to advocate the Tanzanian public in common. This volunteer program is especially suitable for:
Age 16+
Singles
Couples
Families
Groups
Wheel Chairs

Our community-based programs are to empower the local communities and individual people. Our interns experience being immersed in the daily life of Tanzania while also having the opportunity to witness the growth of one of the fastest-growing economies in Africa.

Art in Tanzania is team lead for Children’s Agenda program Media Team in coalition with the Tanzanian Government, UNICEF, Save the Children, SOS, PLAN, and others.

Media is used for our daily program visibility and marketing tasks. Commonly it is to give information about our work in the communities.

We highlight media in network development and constantly wish to develop tools to reach our target groups in universities and the private sector. Media is a powerful tool to work together.

Our media tools include arts, music, and film.  We offer an immersive experience for students who desire to use innovative and creative African media tools.

Our media is advocacy, visibility and marketing focused.

Work is tutored by Mr. Kari Korhonen and the Art in Tanzania Media Team.

Typical day

Media volunteers start their task at AM 9 and work until PM 16.30. You will have a weekly plan for various tasks that are then reported at the end of the week to follow we can meet our tasks.


Common media tools are Facebook, Twitter, Blogs, Instagram, Linkedin, Youtube, and Pinterest. We produce content for all these media and we expand our networks with our target groups like universities and other NGOs.

The content production also includes Film. Our film team is a highly professional Tanzanian team producing music videos, short documentation, music videos and film clips for social media use. If you are not familiar to use film in media content you can cooperate with the film sector volunteers so they assist your tasks. The same stands for photographing and photo editing.

We are developing the "Youth Reporters" program as part of the Children's Agenda initiative. In Youth, Reporters program volunteers assist young people to develop social media content to talk about their personal positives and negatives. It is to learn what the young people think of themselves not only to listen to what NGOs and other entities representing their hopes think about their needs.

Social media has been growing very popular in Tanzania and today even in the rural villages people have access to social media. Art in Tanzania's Facebook page has 19k likes being a very large follow-up society and we consider social media as the main tool to reach the people in common.

Free-time activities

During your free time, you can enjoy low-cost safaris to Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater, and other National parks.

What's Included

Services by Art In Tanzania

The fee includes accommodation, breakfast, and dinner, program guidance with orientation, and 24 hours of staff presence and academic graduate team leaders for all programs.

The actual program is free of cost. You may have local small transfer costs.

Cost does not include international flights, local transfers, charity volunteer VISA, and personal purchases.

Accommodation

Our eco-compound in Madale village in the Dar es Salaam area has dorms, single, double, and family rooms. As an eco-compound we use our own design composting dry toilets, we collect shower water and urine and use it as "grey water" for our large garden irrigation. Construction materials include bamboo, recycled bottles, and similar. This compound is located in Madale village, so it is a countryside place but only a short distance from the city as well.

Food & Beverages

We serve breakfast and dinner as accommodation inclusive. Lunches are available at a nominal cost, but you need to book one every morning as many people are not at the compound we cook and charge only those who are present and wish to have lunch.

All drinks are personal cost. Drinking water is available everywhere at a low cost. We also run a compound bar, so you have easy access to drinks and snacks. 

Internet Access
Good access at the project site
