This opportunity will allow you to widen your horizons, expand your networks, develop global perspective and personal resilience, escape your silo to think, feel, and live outside your bubble, and use your skills to deliver purposeful and scaleable change.
You will take part in one of two projects, starting at the end of February, 2021. One is with the Zambian street children’s NGO Barefeet Theatre, and the other with Iracambi, an NGO working with the Brazilian Atlantic rainforest.
The International Exchange (TIE) connects professionals with social initiatives across the globe to “create the leaders the world needs now by allowing people to get out of their bubble and see the world through a different lens.” TIE offers a unique approach to those shaping the future of their industries or the world. https://www.theinternationalexchange.co.uk/
