Part three: Descriptive details

This section should be around two to four A4 pages (you can gauge the length by copying and pasting from a Word document). Please be as brief as you can while still giving us all the essential info that will let us know what a great contribution you will make to the tour! Be sure to clearly answer each of the following questions. This section is a good place for you to reflect whether the cycle tours and you are right for each other.

How did you hear about The Otesha Project UK (list any previous involvement) and why do you want to join an Otesha tour? *

Explain your interest in educational outreach (using theatre or other forms of presenting to share information about an issue), include how this passion has been used in the past and how you will apply it as a cycle tour member. *

What are your experiences with and/or interests in working with young people? (Please specify age ranges: younger children, older children, teenagers.) *

The tour will be an intense and diverse team living situation: 15-18 people living, cooking, working, and playing together, 24/7, for 6 weeks! What characteristics or experiences do you have that will make you a cooperating, conflict-handling, team-playing, joy to be around? *

Being an Otesha cycle tour member is a give-and-take experience; you contribute to the success of the tour, but you also take away the skills and experiences you gain, and use them in the future to keep creating change. What skills and learning experiences are you most excited about gaining from an Otesha tour? *

Do you foresee being involved in any kind of work or volunteer projects in the future (post-Otesha) where these skills would be useful? *
