Internship abroad with an NGO. What international students, interns, do, onsite or online
Internship and study abroad opportunities vary depending on your skills, interests and studies. We discuss and agree on a program with you, your university, college or employer.
Most interns teach part-time to get a feel for our work as an education NGO, mostly teaching English, maybe IT or programming.
You can combine teaching with communications and PR, such as in social media/blogging, web design/development, special events, campaigns. You may help, for instance, develop our online platform for local people and volunteers. Or help with university and corporate contacts. Fundraising and grant writing are also important for us since finding financial support is vital for a nonprofit NGO.
Once you applied and told us about yourself, we want to meet you online! It will allow us to discuss and formulate together a tailored internship program that matches your interests and school/university requirements.
As for teaching English, if you have a TEFL/TESL, great! We would like you to use these skills to teach our hands-on “Learning-by-Doing” approach; that is, a practical rather than academic English! We focus on conversation skills and online research for students to make presentations and videos to share with friends and online. You don’t have to be a teacher or have a TEFL certificate to do this!
We have a special project for disabled students, teaching English and coding and IT to help them to future online jobs. It is a great learning opportunity for them and for you, and a very important project for us! You can find out more about our OpenSkill Project here.
Later this year after we’ve restarted more projects post-Covid, you can also work on support for ecotourism and local communities or join one of our Learning Camps.
