Abstract:

A variety of sociocultural practices are now of great importance in educating young people. Sociocultural practices are activities aimed at involving students in common cultural values, norms and traditions. This practice is aimed at the benefit of other people and society as a whole and it gives satisfaction to the student himself. It is performed freely and selflessly, without financial fee for services provided. Besides, personal development, self-determination and self-organization are carried out.

Sociocultural practice is a part of sociocultural activity with different forms based on the use of various means, methods and techniques that contribute to the most effective solution of the problem of building civic identity. If the means of artistic culture are used, such practice is called artistic practice.

Depending on the number of participants, there are mass, group, and individual forms of practice. According to the thematic focus and the chosen means, there is a quiz, a film show, a concert, a competition, an exhibition, an Olympiad and a theme night.

The purpose of this article is to analyze and describe the means of artistic culture of the Krasnoyarsk Territory in 1941-1945, which can contribute to forming students’ civic identity.

Art is considered to be the most efficient and “soft” means of educational work and professional training, as it affects both the intellectual and emotional spheres. It also intensifies the creative potential and gives a sense of free unconventional activity. Experts regard “gamification” as the most effective means of learning, and art provides all possible tools for it.

The means of artistic culture include:
– a live word (a presenter’s speech, oratorical and literary performances) and music (it can accompany a live word or act as an independent means);
– choreography, singing and drama as a synthesis of all artistic means (particularly successful in achieving educational goals);
– visual aids: paintings, posters, stage sets, lighting, costumes, video sequences (presentations, films, slides, television).

To acquaint students with the wartime regional cultural heritage, a programme of activities aimed at developing certain components of civic identity should be drawn up. When choosing different forms of artistic practice, it is necessary to focus on the type of art. The programme should include the activities promoting the development of regulatory, cognitive, value and emotional components of civic identity as well as theatrical events synthesizing all the components.
