CANVAS is oriented towards educational work in the field of strategic nonviolent conflict.

We are committed to spreading knowledge to future generations of activists and students alike in order to keep the spirit of nonviolence, begun by Mahatma Gandhi and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., alive and well in our ever-complicated and tumultuous world.

As an intern, you can help in our mission to expand CANVAS’s experience worldwide and learn about the power of movements in modern society.

About Belgrade

We can recommend joining us in Belgrade in order to benefit from integrating into the team and gaining cultural experience. As Serbia’s capital, Belgrade offers music, art, history, outdoor activities and opportunities to travel. English is widely spoken, so language barriers should not pose a major obstacle. Its central location makes travel across the Balkans accessible. You can learn so much from the culture, hospitality and history of Serbia and the Balkans.
