FORMATION OF STUDENTS’ CIVIC IDENTITY AS CONDITIONS OF NATIONAL SOLIDARITY IN WARTIME

Abstract

The article highlights the problem of students' civic identity as a condition for national solidarity in wartime. It was established that the formation of civic identity among student youth is an important task of modern education, which aims to involve young people in nation-building processes and active public life. It has been proven that national solidarity is the most important moral characteristic of the Ukrainian national community, which determines the national kinship of members of Ukrainian society through a system of values, national consciousness, national culture, language, moral rules and laws and is manifested in self-organization, active citizenship, the ability to act for a common goal and common good. Civic competence is defined as the ability of a person to realize and protect the rights and freedoms of a person and a citizen, to be responsible for the duties of a citizen, to take an active part in public life, to support the development of a democratic society and to affirm the supremacy of law, the ideas of democracy, justice, equality, on the basis of equals rights and opportunities. It was found that civic activism defines the civic position that an individual manifests in public activities, participation in solving political, social, moral issues, involvement in public and political life, as well as participation in election processes. Civic resilience reflects national identity and solidarity in everyday life and in the conditions of war and post-war times, the ability to resist hostile ideology and informational influences. It has been proven that the formation of civic identity is based on national consciousness, national culture, national language, and national idea.
