Childcare & Early Education | Global Citizenship Diploma

by: Boresha Maisha Global Adventure Academy

Spend 6 or 12 weeks in Arusha, Tanzania, combining hands-on early childhood education experience with accredited Global Citizenship learning, cultural immersion and adventure. Work alongside Tanzanian educators in grassroots early learning centres, supporting children aged approximately 2–6 through play, creativity, early literacy and numeracy, language development, movement and social learning. Rather than replacing local teachers, you’ll provide additional classroom support while gradually building the relationships and understanding needed to contribute meaningfully. Beyond placement, explore ethical volunteering, education, culture, sustainability and community-led development, alongside personal growth, Swahili, cultural workshops and a collaborative Legacy Project shaped around your placement’s needs. Your Academy experience also includes weekly adventures, cultural experiences, African Safari and, on the 12-week program, Zanzibar, shared with an international cohort. Complete the requirements to earn a Level 3 Diploma in Global Citizenship in Community Development alongside valuable international experience.
