SOCIOCULTURAL ENVIRONMENT OF NON-FORMAL YOUTH ORGANIZATIONS AS A SOCIAL AND PEDAGOGICAL PROBLEM

Abstract

Sociocultural content of every non-formal movement is also the expression of its passionarity. A non-formal person’s type and character of the temperament appear in expressing oneself, in the social specificity. The cultural field of the non-formal association forms their social activity in a certain way, leading them in a specific direction. Expressing oneself through the culture passes with the broad involvement of his/her own I, the collective cognitive field impresses, as the environment of a non-formal person does – the environment, the artistic era which have a powerful influence on the formation of the specificity of non-formal associations. Group activity in non-formal movements is connected not only with artistic or other expression of their own specificity, but with deep sociocultural reflection. The social environment serves as a paradigm in their specificity (along with deep personal qualities, existential identity). The society of non-formalities is permeated by their culture, but the culture is also infused with social. Sociocultural expression of the non-formal association is the expression of its worldview, social relations are imbued with specific characteristics of the existence of this group. And they are also a subject of reflection. In the analysis of the sociocultural field it is possible to identify a number of functioning features of the non-formal association, to demonstrate the social organism of the informal association in its specificity and manifestations. The non-formal associations operate in conjunction of those important categories that make up the specific content and revealing the inner core, the direction and inclination of the subculture specifics.
