About the internship
In the framework of the ARRICE project (Africa Regional Resilience Initiative on
Climate Education), the Office for Climate Education (OCE) is offering a 4-month
internship opportunity for a Kenyan Master’s-level student in 2026, through funding of the
French embassy in Kenya. The internship is expected to start in September 2026.
The internship will take place in Paris, France, within the OCE team, in close collaboration
with KOEE in Kenya. The internship includes a monthly remuneration.
The selected intern will contribute to strengthening Climate Change Education (CCE) in
Kenya by supporting the work of adaptation and implementation of OCE’s pedagogical
resources and trainings in African contexts, particularly in Kenya.
The selected intern will develop knowledge and hands-on experience in climate change
education, particularly in its integration into national curricula, the definition of competencies,
and the importance of contextualizing content within curricula. This experience will
ultimately be valuable in supporting the development of climate change education upon their
return to Kenya.
