Introduce yourself
The following questions are a guideline to help you to introduce yourself to Kitezch-Orion Community. They want to get a feeling for you as a person, so write as freely and informally as you can. Before Ecologia Youth Trust can approve your application to volunteer, Kitezch-Orion needs to see your introduction and give us their approval. It is both a courtesy to them and a reassurance for our students so that you know that you are welcomed before you commit yourself.
Have you visited Russia before? If yes, when and for how long? Tell us what you did there.*
Where did you hear about the Russian Language Course at Orion?*
If you heard about us via a Google ad or through a search engine, please let us know the name of the website where you saw our listing.
Some Questions to help us to assess your Russian Language proficiency. The more you can say, the better so that we can assess the level of your language and put you together with others of a similar level:*
 Which level of language proficiency are you, and what are your expectations from the course?  What is your main interest in the Russian Language Course, is it grammar, conversation, reading, writing?  How long have you studied Russian and in what system? At school, university?  Where are you studying now and which level are you on? Are you currently studying Russian or is this a chance to brush up your language?  Which grammar themes have you covered? Cases, tenses, verb conjugation, participles, gender, conversation practice, reading, writing and verbal communication.  How do you intend to use Russian language? What topics are you interested in? Culture, politics, art, etc.
Especially important for those who plan to stay on as a volunteer: Have you ever taught English before? Have you worked with children before? Tell us more...*
Please give us a general description of your personal background, current work or study, hobbies, interests. As a vulunteer you will have many talents, skills and qualities to give. Please tell us about them all.*
Adaptability
These 20 Questions are as much for you to assess your own adaptability, as they are relevant to us. Be honest with yourself!
On a scale of 1-5 (1-not at all, 5-very much) would you say you are:
Outgoing and sociable*
Willing to learn some Russian before you go*
Able to put the needs of others before you own.*
Adaptable to different living conditions from usual*
Able to cope with lack of privacy*
Confident in the company of new people*
Comfortable to invite yourself to someone's home*
Willing to do whatever job is asked of you (provided you are able)*
Willing to try something new*
Able to ask if you don’t know the answer*
Open to fair criticism*
Open to different cultural values than your own*
Willing to do manual labour, help on the farm, with building*
Willing to help in the kitchen, wash dishes*
Willing to share*
Willing to tolerate unfamiliar food*
How much do you like rural life, living in isolation from the city?*
How much do you like children?*
These 20 Questions are as much for you to assess your own adaptability, as they are relevant to us. Be honest with yourself, and if you answered 1 more than 3 times, we seriously suggest you re-consider whether Kitezch is the right place for you.
If you are, on average, unsure but open and willing to try, (mostly 2 – 4) you will find your place at Kitezch-Orion and be happy there.
If you are all 5’s you are either a saint or deluding yourself!!
