    Summary

    The community psychology program covers education programs, women's programs, human rights issues, corporate social responsibility approach, and other development tasks on the grassroots level in Africa.

    Details

    Art in Tanzania has been operating since 1996. We receive about 250 participants in our community placements annually.

    The placement focuses on children in poverty, children and youth with disabilities, orphaned children, unemployed youth, women in poverty, people with HIV, people recovering from trauma, addiction recovery, older people, the art sector, education, etc. Clinical placements are also available.

    Community psychology means skills and tools that empower us to reach and work with the local community through various programs and tasks.

    We use our social media pages for advocacy work, and our Facebook pages have more than 50K followers.

    Work hours are 6-8 hours per day, Monday through Friday.

    The program is ongoing, so the start dates are adjustable. Your placement is tailored to your background, experience, and interests to empower our daily work with the communities.

    Daily tasks include practical fieldwork, planning, reporting, and visibility work.

    The start and end dates are flexible as all programs are ongoing, many since 1996.

    You and your visiting friends can enjoy low-cost, sustainable safaris and tours.

    Accommodation and meals are personal expenses. For 1-13 weeks, EUR 175 per week covers accommodation with breakfast and dinner, the student compound facilities, and professional tutoring. From week 14 onwards, the cost is EUR 125 per week.

    Airport transfer is EUR 60 one way, which is a personal expense.

    A charity visa for immigration, which costs USD 50, is a personal expense. A multiple-entry visa for less than 12 months is USD 250.
