Join our international team in the spectacular city of Cape Town and work with children from the local townships while developing teaching experience and qualifications on this short term internship. You will learn how to plan and deliver a range of educational programs in deprived township schools and day care centres, gaining experience in teamwork and leadership, while also developing your teaching skills and assist with the running of educational programmes (including childcare, sports and creative play) for young children.
