PROJECT: St. Petersburg — not only a city of palaces and mansions. Very near live «another St. Petersburg» — Petersburg intersections and alleys, narrow canals and picturesque bridges, apartment buildings and courtyards, «wells». Dostoevsky did a great city on your own hero of his books, creating the phenomenon of «St. Petersburg of Dostoevsky».  St.Petersburg is considered to be the city of the great Russian writer and philosopher Feodor Dostoevsky. The most famous works were written in this city: “Crime and Punishment”, “The Idiot”, “Karamazovy Brothers”, etc. His characters walked along the streets of the city. The spirit of his novels soars in the air. Dostoevsky’s grandson lives in St.Petersburg. Meeting with him is quite possible. So this is a challenging question to say if St.Petersburg is recognized through the novels of Dostoevsky, or it is Dostoevsky who people learn about when come to the city. So that’s why we invite you to the wonderful city of St.Petersburg to get a closer look at the world and the language of the great Dostoevsky! The group of people from different countries will be formed as in ordinary workcamp, including living and spending leisure time together, but main idea of the project is to allow volunteers increase their Russian by taking part in informal study. The methodology of teaching based on using of linguistic-cultured component.  The teacher will be native speaker with the degree of bachelor of Philological faculty (specialty: “Russian as Foreign”). We ask volunteers to send us their motivation letter and CV. Please, specify your language level. “Mir Tesen” doesn’t provide any certificate. NB! This camp course for the basic level. WORK: The volunteers will have daily classes of Russian . The volunteers will be engaged in improving the territory of Vasilievsky Island  and making outside and inside repair of old historical building, where Host NGO “Mir Tesen” situated. Various works, not requiring any special qualifications: to seat grass, bushes and flowers; to paint the iron fenders of the windows. Inside building: to paint walls and windows, to decorate rooms. Creative volunteers you are welcome!  ACCOMMODATION: in St-Petersburg.  LEISURE TIME: The historic center of St. Petersburg is included in UNESCO World Heritage http://whc.unesco.org/en/list/540 “Historic Centre of Saint Petersburg and Related Groups Monuments». St-Petersburg – cultural capital of Russia http://www.gov.spb.ru/. — so you will have the opportunity to visit numerous museums, theatres, galleries and exhibitions. The volunteers can go to some country residences for Emperors, Grand Princes and grandees: Peterhof www.peterhofmuseum.ru, Lomonosov www.oranienbaum.org , Tsarskoye Selo www.tzar.ru , Pavlovsk www.pavlovskmuseum.ru , Gatchina www.museum.ru/W1335 . TERMINAL: Pulkovo International Airport is located about 17 km from the St-Petersburg center. We know that some of the volunteers have problems with the high cost of tickets to Saint Petersburg. We can recommend them to find economy flights not to St. Petersburg, but to Riga or Helsinki or other Finland city. It is a very short way from Riga or Helsinki to our city not only by plane, but also by bus or train. SPECIAL  REMARKS: Volunteers should bring working clothes, gloves and sleeping bags. Besides it would be good to take something special from their country (photos, food and small things) for international party in the workcamp and demonstrating others characteristic features of home country.
