I need you evaluation, guys!!! As a Bachelor level student, I have focused my academic interests in European region and obtained profound knowledge in European history of culture. In that time I was travelling a lot and realized that I would like to continua my education in more practical and business-oriented field that presupposes mobile work in multicultural environment. I started to read a lot of literature and to watch the webinars about Tourism and Hospitality. So I had no doubt that I must get a Degree in this sphere. Unfortunately, my Home University does not offer Master Programs in it; therefore, I decided to get my MA in Public Relations. Now I am aware in Internal and External communications as well as Crisis Management. I also have relevant PR experience by working as an intern at the Communication Department of PC Erste Bank. The reason why I would like to change my majority is that T&H is very perspective sphere for young specialists not only in Ukrainian, but also in global market. Furthermore, I plan to link my professional career with T&H industry and The Turibe University may give me this excellent opportunity. It proposes a number of courses - Management of hotel systems, Strategic management in tourism, International tourism environment – that I believe will help me to better understand new trends in the industry. I am also aware that the program proposes study trips that are a huge challenge for me. Thus, I think that this esteem Programme will correlate with my degrees in Public Relations and Cultural Studies as well as help me to become a valuable specialist, who can benefit Tourism industry of Ukraine with new working approaches and in perspective will change it according to international standards.

When you compare the information about _ and its goals with your own As have been mention in the first essay I think that each person live in the world to make it better. But without understanding of such kind of things as justice, peace, and defense of human rights, that ASF promotes more than fifty years, it is very hard or even impossible. It means that my outlook is very similar to the principles in which peace voluntary service is based. Furthermore, it is the main reason why I would like to take part in this project. I would like to help people. What is more, I successfully do it now with a charity organization Caritas Ukraine. However, I would be very pleased to participate in the long-term project as ASF is. Now I can’t investigate all my time and energy in voluntary activities; however, I am prepared to do it and ASF may give me this possibility. The issues that ASF program is solving are quite important to German and Polish as well as Ukrainian society. The consequences of National Socialism were very serious, so we should not only deal with them, but also remember about this sad page of European history in order to never repeat it. I convince that tolerant is a key of understanding. So, it does not wonder that ASF work to create a dialogue amongst Jews and Christians, because this work is a successful premise for building a fruitful political and cultural dialogue amongst nations and countries. I would like to join this field of work to assist intercultural communications that is very important especially for Ukrainians. I think that my goals in this stage of life are similar to ASF’s goals. I am interested in long-term voluntary work in European NGO organizations, on the other hand, ASF is looking for young individuals, who are socially integrated and are dedicated to work in his or her assigned project with a committed heart and mind. As a result, it may be a beneficial double-sided collaboration. Now it is difficult to single out any differences in ASF and my goals, but I convince that they are. I may tell about them when I will know more about ASF. I think that it makes sense to do in the evaluation step when the project is finished.

Something to read I would hereby like to express my interest in ASF program and to provide peace volunteer service in Poland. There are several reasons why it is attractive to me doing volunteer service especially in Poland. Firstly, I won’t have problems with communications with local people during my volunteer service, because I have learnt Polish language in Kyiv-Mohyla Academy for nearly two years and now know it in a quite good level. What is more, I read many books in Polish to write the profound academic Bachelor research. Now I continue to read Polish online newspapers, such as “Gazeta Wyborća”, “Magazyn Historyćny” and so on. So, knowing Polish is a big challenge that allows me to handle a variety of tasks effectively and to convey information accurately and concisely. Secondly, it would be a great chance to learn more about Poland as a country. I would like to tell you that I began to take interests in Polish history and culture about four years ago. During this time I realized that Ukraine and Poland have a lot of similarities. For example, these two countries were a part of Rzeczpospolita (Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth). They both suffered from the terror of National Socialism and were occupied by Soviet Union. However, now Poland and Ukraine develop in different way. Thus, it would be useful to break stereotypes as well as better understand Polish society. Thirdly, I will understand how Polish NGOs, government organization and business work. It allows me to compare Ukrainian and Polish models of management, communications and so on. This new knowledge will be helpful in my future professional career. Last but not least, I will get opportunity to attend some Polish cultural events, such as theatre, literature or music festivals. Last summer in Kyiv I visit performance of one Polish street theatre and was very excited because of the show. So I expect to know more about Polish cultural live. Answering the question about hopes and fears, I would like to emphasize that I expect to get relevant work experience by working in the friendly atmosphere. I also expect that living conditions will be sufficient to my modest needs and I will have time to relax at the weekend. On the other hand, I am aware that some difficulties may appear during my volunteer service and sometimes I have to do lots of routine work. So I prepare to solve everyday problems and learn something new if it will be necessary.

Why do you want to do a volunteer service? “Life is a duty, complete it”, said Mother Teresa many years ago. I fully agree with her thought, because each person was born in human society. Therefore, each person should not only respect others, but also benefit this world with good behavior. We live here to make this world better than it is now. So, providing a volunteer service is minimum what I may do to complete my duty. I am a young specialist. In July of the next year I will finish the university in which I have been studying for last six years. I have spent a lot of time by reading different kinds of books. I learnt about different historical periods, ideas, and doctrines. However, what I understood the best is that human life is so short to waste it in the office. I believe that each person should choose his or her own way and step-by-step following it. As for me, I would like to start my way by taking part in ASF (ARSP) program, because of following reasons: 1) It is an excellent opportunity to help other as well as receive relevant work experience in the sphere of my professional interests. In future I am going to work as a specialist of communication in Ukrainian NGO organizations. So it would be really great to work a year in a similar kind of organization abroad. It helps me better understand European way of working and compare it with Ukrainian as well as create my own unique communication strategy for NGOs that would include both Eastern and Western approaches. 2) Mission of ASF (ARSP) is very familiar to my own outlook. I strongly believe that tolerance is a key to harmony and mutual understanding amongst people of different cultures, educational backgrounds, and social identities. So, it may sense to investigate time and energy in things that I share with other. 3) It is also an excellent opportunity to implement my own ideas and projects in reality and help other. I am very creative person, therefore, it would be a great pleasure for me if I got chance to implement my own projects and initiatives in life. Unfortunately, in Ukraine young specialties have lack of possibilities to do this. I believe that ASF (ARSP) program would give me these possibilities.

Consular Assistant Personally, I would like to tell you that the position of Consular Assistant, offered by the British Embassy in Kyiv, attracted my attention, because it correlates with my academic degrees as well as work experience and professional interests. Let me tell you a little about myself, starting with my work experience. I started to work in my first year of university. I worked with children from the USA at the Kiev-Mohyla Summer School. For example, I organized and led excursions around Kiev, which was quite involved and required excellent organizational skills. Later (during 2 years) I worked in the dean’s office of my university. I prepared a wide variety of documents and helped in events organization. This summer, I took part in the First Kiev International Biennale of Contemporary Art. I worked as a translator with artists, foreign journalists and speakers. Furthermore, I guided tours of the Biennale exhibition. Now I am an intern in the Communication Department of PC Erste Bank. My duties in this company include writing press-releases (in Russian, Ukrainian, and English), preparing materials for the corporate website, and doing media analysis. Therefore, if I receive the position of Consular Assistant, I try to use these skills to do my best. I am an open-minded young specialist and personal development is very important for me. It means that I am prepared not only to work by hard, but also to except new ideas in order to demonstrate the best results. As a culturologist I profoundly understand cultural diversity between Ukrainian and English mentalities, so I can properly work with these two audiences. I also would like to tell you that I have been working very hardly to improve my English during last two years. Therefore, it would be a great challenge to work in English speaking organization as the British Embassy is. I expect to work with skillful specialist and assist Pro Consul and Consul in dealing with consular casework. It is very responsible job that allows me to improve my personality and show my professional skills by doing day duties. In closing, if you are seeking a qualified and productive individual who looks at challenges as opportunities to learn I am right person for the job. I look forward to the exciting prospect of working with the British Embassy in Kyiv, which is the official representation of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland in Ukraine since January 1992. Thank you for your time and consideration.
