Sustainable Construction Internship in Africa
Details
Description
Summary
Art in Tanzania introduces and implements traditional African construction materials in modern-day construction and interior designs.
Details
Traditional African construction materials such as mud, hay, leaves, stones, and bamboo are still commonly used in low-income families.
These materials are eco-friendly and low-cost. We use these raw African materials and construction techniques in modern-day solutions, such as mud-plastered walls and fences, makuti-covered roofs and sound insulation solutions, and bamboo lamp shades. We also look for new, innovative ways to implement African culture in households.
The internship outcome is to learn to use your studies and experience to work in developing country conditions.
Work hours are 6-8 hours per day, Monday through Friday. Your program can be from 2 weeks to 12 months. An internship is commonly 2-3 months long. The placement starting dates are flexible.
Academic-level team leaders supervise your internship daily. We monitor your work with a weekly plan and report system to ensure you complete your tasks successfully.
We can take students in all year round as all programs are ongoing. Your placement is tailored to your background, experience, and interests to empower our daily work with the communities.
The typical morning tasks include practical fieldwork in the schools and communities, and afternoons are for planning, reporting, and social media visibility functions.
