Project overview and tasks

In SEI’s Project Communications and Impact division, we take pride in our friendly, collaborative work environment with colleagues from all over the world. In this internship, you will work with different teams to enhance the visibility and influence of their research. Your primarily focus will be on topics like water, sanitation, health and oceans, offering support to teams keen to amplify their communication strategies.

Your creativity will help to transform ideas into reality as you contribute to both content creation and the development of communications strategies. Tasks include producing impactful stories in a variety of formats: crafting engaging feature articles and social media posts; producing and editing captivating videos; and creating eye-catching infographics, explainers and templates. You will also provide creative input on visuals and social media strategy.
