SMART is looking for university students from around the world to join its International Internship Program.

At SMART EcoPark, we aim for visiting children to gain an appreciation and understanding of the diversity the world has to offer.  We believe that bringing in student interns of diverse backgrounds provides an opportunity for new international perspectives to be added to the park’s programs and experiences. By contributing your own personal and cultural understandings of the themes explored at SMART—the natural environment, the inner self, and our increasingly globalized world—you will help children experience the world through their visit at the park.

Above all, we seek students who are passionate and committed to making a difference and creating positive change in the world.
