Program Description:

Seychelles Communications Short-term Internship

Cover 
Travel to a small tropical island off the coast of East Africa to create awareness of global conservation issues affecting unique island habitats and the work of international and local organisations to preserve these environments. In the process, participate in conserving the island, learn about conservation, gain experience in communications and social media, and start developing your leadership skills..
 
PROGRAM FOCUS
 
Live with other GVI participants on the famously beautiful Anse St. Jose beach on a tiny tropical island. Learn scientific monitoring techniques from GVI conservationists and work with the international team to assist the Seychelles National Parks Authority with collecting the data necessary for making decisions to preserve and restore the island’s native habitats and threatened species. 

Create engaging social media content, blogs, and other content to promote international conservation awareness. The experience you gain on this internship will ensure that you are well-suited to any communications role and the best practices for communicating conservation initiatives will enable you to be perfectly suited to an environmental communication role specifically.

Interns also complete GVI’s leadership course endorsed by the Institute of Management and Leadership, which allows you to develop your confidence as a team leader.
