    Typical day

    Media volunteers start their tasks at 9 AM and work until 16.30 PM. You will have a weekly plan for various functions, which will be reported at the end of the week to ensure we meet our tasks.

    Standard Facebook, Twitter, Blogs, Instagram, LinkedIn, YouTube, and Pinterest are standard media tools. We produce content across all these media and expand our networks with target groups such as universities and other NGOs.

    Content production also includes Film. Our film team is a highly professional Tanzanian team that produces music videos, short documentaries, and film clips for social media. If you are not familiar with using Film in media content, you can collaborate with film sector volunteers who can assist with your tasks—the same goes for photography and photo editing.

    We are developing the "Youth Reporters" program for the Children's Agenda initiative. In the Youth Reporters program, volunteers assist young people in creating social media content to discuss their 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 feel about their needs.

    Social media has become increasingly popular in Tanzania; today, even in rural villages, people have access to it. Art in Tanzania's Facebook page has 19k likes. We are a highly connected society, and we consider social media the primary tool to reach people in common.

    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 flush toilets with bio-grade septic tanks; we collect shower water and use it as "grey water" for our tropical garden irrigation. This compound is in Madale village, so it is in the countryside but a short distance from the city.

    We charge for accommodation with breakfast and dinner only. 

    Food & Beverages

    We include breakfast and dinner in the lodging cost at our compound. Lunches are not included because most participants are out of the compound during the day. Local places to eat around your placement are low-cost.

    All drinks are at your own cost. Drinking water is available everywhere at a low price. We also run a compound bar, so you can easily access drinks and snacks.
