It is important to meet the needs of the individual in self-realization – the development of interests, aptitudes, abilities of students and reasonable organization of their free time, finding and supporting young talents, meeting the needs of professional self-determination, obtaining additional education.The necessity of revealing theoretical bases of extracurricular education, systematization and generalization of the historical experience of pedagogical practice is substantiated. The need for structural and historical analysis of extracurricular education is due to the fact that it allows a deeper understanding of trends and patterns of origin and development of many ideas, phenomena and processes in its field, objectively assessing and characterizing them in terms of modernity. In turn, this will help identify promising areas in the development of methods of extracurricular education, their implementation in current conditions.In this regard, historiographical scientific research is becoming relevant in order to organize the experience of educating the younger generation in the cultural and leisure sphere and its important centres, such as extracurricular educational institutions.
