Communications Short Term Internship in Laos

Cover
Discover the ancient country of Laos when you volunteer with GVI on critical community development projects throughout the city of Luang Prabang
 
Although tourism has picked up in Laos over recent years, it is still one of the poorest countries in the world and is largely an agricultural country. By volunteering in Laos with GVI, you can contribute to sustainable projects that aim to have a long-term impact on the lives of local community members and their futures. 
 
With project focuses ranging in marine and wildlife conservation, childcare, animal care, health care and teaching, there is something for everyone.
Spend your gap year, career break or volunteering holiday exploring a land rich in culture and ornate temples, as you make a difference teaching English to young Buddhist monks or volunteering with children on a variety of childcare initiatives.
 
 
PROGRAM FOCUS
 
Laos has much to offer its visitors in terms of cultural differences, history and scenic surrounds. Our base in Luang Prabang is located at the meeting of the mighty Mekong and Nam Khan rivers. Here interns will be responsible for creating content that will be used in educational English classes and marketing purposes by GVI and our partners. These initiatives contribute towards UN SDG #17 - Partnerships for the Goals and Goal #4 - Quality Education.

Your days on the internship will be jam-packed as you can look forward to a full day of teaching, and planning for lessons and workshops. You will also be attending one-on-one training sessions in the first few weeks, as well as spending time working on your internship project and media related tasks.

LOCATION
 
Laos is a Southeast Asian country traversed by the Mekong River and known for mountainous terrain, French colonial architecture, hill tribe settlements and Buddhist monasteries. Travel to the UNESCO listed heritage site of Luang Prabang, the ancient capital of Laos, famous for its many Buddhist temples.
