CREATION OF CONDITIONS FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF ETHNIC TOLERANCE OF SCHOOL CHILDREN IN THE NORYA VILLAGE

Abstract

The article gives theoretical substantiation and experience of practical application of knowledge on development of ethnic tolerance of pupils in the conditions of the international school cooperation in an Udmurt rural school. For multinational and multicultural Udmurtia this problem is particularly relevant. In villages there is an increase in social problems, which lead to a decrease in the level of culture of the population. The success of social changes will largely depend on the activities of rural schools. The concept of "tolerance" is considered from different positions, the conditions of its development in school are substantiated, and the components of the tolerant environment are given. For the development of ethnic tolerance of adolescents in school, it is necessary to create conditions for the study of other national and cultural traditions. However, in order for teenagers to understand and study the culture of another people, it is necessary, first of all, that they know and understand the culture of their people, the history of their native area, village, and then compare the cultural traditions of different peoples, find common and differences in them ("Respect the other, being able to respect yourself"). The article describes the practical experience of the development of ethnic tolerance of students in the conditions of international school cooperation in the school of village Norya. The village has been cooperating with settlements in the Finno-Ugric countries for about 20 years, which are engaged in local history and, more broadly, the revival and preservation of the culture of their peoples. Positive changes are observed not only in the school itself; such activities give a powerful impetus to the development and prosperity of the village.
