Project Summary

What is the Media and Marketing internship in Peru all about?

The Media and Marketing Internship in Peru takes place in a non-profit social enterprise that works to alleviate poverty as well as conserve and revitalize cultural traditions in Peru. The organization mainly works in rural indigenous communities around Cusco. By introducing Peruvian textiles to the global marketplace, the organization has been enabling women to earn an income while continuing to live a traditional lifestyle using ancient craft techniques.
The social enterprise works with weaving cooperatives and promotes workshops for the local weavers in the rural communities. It also runs adult education programs, employs teachers for grade schools and supports building projects such as schools, weaving houses, and washroom facilities to further develop the traditional weaving communities and empower them to sustain themselves financially.


What are the benefits of interning in Media and Marketing in Peru?

  • Gain hands-on experience abroad in your field of study and make yourself stand out from the ground.
  • Learn about fair trade, slow fashion, conservation and community empowerment along the way.
  • Experience Peruvian culture and traditions at the deepest and make new friends in the process.

Role of the Media and Marketing Intern

Media and Marketing interns in Peru may be given a variety of roles depending on experience and interests. The social enterprise needs help with a variety of tasks including research about the ancient practice of Peruvian weaving and traditional designs of Peruvian textiles. There are also opportunities for interns to coordinate, photograph and film, edit, and work on multimedia related projects. The products are sold via online stores, so interns will gain first-hand experience in photo shoots, content, online promotions, etc. Interns may also be involved with website management including creating and managing content, optimizing keywords, creating analytical reports, etc. There are also opportunities for anyone interesting in social media platforms (blogs, facebook, twitter, instagram) and creating the communication needed to attract potential buyers, find new partners, and network with like-minded communities.


What do I need to be an intern in Media and Marketing in Peru?

Experience with social media, online networking, website design and administration, photography, film, qualitative research are all assets. Some experience within one of the field is required. Previous experience in professional environments and working on social enterprise would also be an asset. Basic intermediate Spanish would be helpful. If you are interested in the research aspect of the internet, then Advanced Spanish is required. Also, the internship may require some overnight stay within the community.
You will be required to submit a CV, as well as to go through a phone interview for the vetting process before your placement is confirmed.
