Description: "Russian Project" - Internship Program offered by ProBa Language Centre. 4-16 weeks of volunteer work with intensive Russian language training in St. Petersburg. This project is aimed at people willing not only to study the language but also to do something in order to experience life as it really is. We offer you the unique opportunity of participating in a highly intensive Russian Language course followed by a month or more of practical work.

Highlights:
* Practical Work at Hospital:

We offer our clients to spend some time working as volunteers at one of the St. Petersburg hospitals. This is quite a usual and ordinary state hospital for people suffering from different diseases. There are two main departments in the hospital: Therapy and Surgical. According to our program volunteers will help people staying at the Therapy department of the hospital. During the certain period of time volunteers will act as ordinary nurses and work hand-to-hand with the Russian personnel of the department. Together with their Russian colleagues our volunteers will do their best to bring sick people back to normal life.

This is really hard but noble job. Usually our students work at the department of the Intensive Therapy assisting the Russian physicians in their everyday work. It is possible to work also at the General Surgery Department. The best way to have some short-term language and medical practice in Russia is to work as an assistant to a physician and to carry on.

* Practical Work - Teaching in Russia:

This project is targeted at participants willing to spend more time in Russia to achieve the high level of the Russian Language and to be engaged in practical teaching process of foreign languages to the Russian students. We invite you to have teaching practice with our Russian students.

The main aim of the project is to let students - as well as teachers - to understand the ways and methods of teaching in different countries of the world, to exchange views and opinions and to get an additional life experience.

Try yourself as a teacher, test you abilities to adapt and learn! All positions/practice are offered on the volunteer basis - not paid positions.
