    About the program

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

    Art in Tanzania leads the Children’s Agenda program Media Team, which works 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. It is commonly used to provide 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 for collaboration.

    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.

    Mr. Kari Korhonen and the Art in Tanzania Media Team tutor work.

    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 that are then reported at the end of the week to ensure we can meet our tasks.


    StandardFacebook, Twitter, Blogs, Instagram, Linkedin, YouTube, and Pinterest are standard media tools. We produce content for all these media and expand our networks with target groups like universities and other NGOs.

    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 with using Film in media content, you can cooperate with the film sector volunteers so they can assist with your tasks—the same goes for photographing 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 been growing very popular in Tanzania; today, even in rural villages, people have access to social media. Art in Tanzania's Facebook page has 19k likes. We are a vast follow-up society, and we consider social media the primary tool to reach the people in common.
