Join Intern Abroad HQ, the world’s most affordable international internship organization, and invest in your future with an Environmental Education Internship in Greece.
 
In the infamous words of Cousteau, people protect what they love and understand - and we only understand what we’re taught. Education is the key to spreading environmental awareness and being able to advance its causes. Interns with a passion for this field can lend a range of skills, while also developing important insights into conservation strategies, community development, and essential communication techniques.

This program offers durations of 8-24 weeks from April through October and 4-24 weeks from November through March. Start dates are available every first and third Monday throughout the year.

Your fully-hosted experience includes sourcing of your internship placement, personalization of your project plan, airport pick-up, orientation, accommodation, meals, and onsite student support. See our full list of fees and inclusions on our website.
 
Suitable for students, graduates and researchers of relevant fields. For example, Education, Arts, Environmental Management, International Relations, Political Science, etc. Desired technical skills include experience working with children, good organization, creativity and enthusiasm!

This internship is conducted in English.
 
Environmental Education interns join a multidisciplinary team in Samos, Greece, where a Marine Conservation Institute operates year-round. Interns assist the NGO with crucial outreach activities, designed to enhance community engagement, give back, and educate on marine and environmental biodiversity. Contribute to workshops, videos, presentations and other creative interactive activities, as you develop a broad range of transferable skills to further your career.

This internship role primarily involves environmental education plans, providing creative freedom to interns, who can design and implement new activities and materials. Whether working independently or within a team, interns are tasked with building understanding and support for diverse environmental protection priorities - whether at a local, national, or international level. Join an effort to increase knowledge and interest in worthy environmental causes, and inspire others to generate change.

While Environmental Education interns may have opportunities to assist multidisciplinary conservation teams with fieldwork activities, this will be subject to availability. In the event that an intern is afforded the opportunity to attend certain fieldwork surveys, to expand their own knowledge and understanding, they may be asked to complete theoretical training/preparation tasks.

Interns should expect that the first week of your experience will focus on settling in, building new relationships, gaining introductory and foundational knowledge. Being able to balance the motivation to get stuck in as soon as possible must be balanced with teamwork, patience, the willingness to try new things, achieve learning milestones, and ask questions as you progress.

You might find yourself trying new things - however, this can greatly benefit your future career, as it adds so much more practical experience to your resume! A commitment to responsible communication and self-management is required. Supervisors will assign tasks and projects but interns are required to organize and put suitable timelines in place for achieving the best outcome.
