POPULARIZATION OF SPIRITUAL AND MORAL EDUCATION OF STUDENTS USING SOCIAL AND CULTURAL ACTIVITY

Abstract

This paper analyse the regional approach to organizing the activities of the Belgorod State Institute of Arts and Culture, as well as the regional centre for additional professional education (Spiritual and Educational Centre in the name of Vera, Nadezhda, Lyubov and their mother Sophia (Christian virtues Faith, Hope and Charity)) to popularize spiritual and moral education of student youth. The experimental base of the research was the Spiritual and Educational Centre in the name of Vera, Nadezhda, Lyubov and their mother Sophia as a structural unit of the Belgorod State Institute of Arts and Culture. As a result of the study, the authors conclude that, despite the fact that modern youth do not have clear life guidelines, they are prone to Western ideas of consumer attitudes toward existence. They also highlight health, family and education as the main values in life, and they value in people, first of all, responsiveness, kindness, and intellect. In order to popularize the spiritual and moral qualities of youth, we have developed the program "We are one." The purpose of the program is the actualization, support and implementation of educational processes related to effective work in the youth environment, the formation of individuals and citizens capable of realizing themselves within the region, Russia and on a global scale; promotion of humanitarian knowledge and culture-forming technologies in the regional cultural and educational space of the Belgorod region, Russia and abroad. The authors of the paper have developed and substantiated in the process of experimental work approaches and recommendations that contribute to increasing the effectiveness of spiritual and moral education of students. These materials can be used in the process of organizing pedagogic activities in educational institutions.
