Abstract

The article looks at the problem of human development through the ecosystem approach to education. Traditional adult education formats are not able to fully meet the needs of individuals and the labor market. The educational environment is expanding due to new technologies, providers and content delivery formats. The results of an expert survey (n = 18) show that in the national learning environment, institutional boundaries are blurring, EdTech is accelerating, and horizontal links between different providers are developing. This allows the authors to speak of an emerging educational ecosystem. New educational formats in the ecosystem (co-working, peer-to-peer learning platforms, makerspaces, EdTech) enable the development of individual learning pathways, micro-skills, training for new professions, occupational intersectoral mobility, and become an important factor in the human and socio-economic development of territories.

Abstract

The attention of modern researchers to the issue of youth online community activity is constantly increasing. Recording certain superficial features of communication in such associations, it is necessary to build a social model that would reflect the focus of participation, forms of interaction, as well as the specifics of moderation in the context of social and political mobilization. The relevance of this problem is due to the latent nature of hidden risks that can manifest themselves in the digital space. It is also necessary to take into account the dynamism of the development of network communications, which, updating and complementing certain opportunities, create a field not only for constructive interaction, but also for destructive. The social model of youth online community activity will structurally show and functionally reflect the degree of involvement of a young person from an informant to an active creator of virtual content.

Abstract

Historical representation is the process by which past events are selected, interpreted, and presented in the present. This process is not neutral or objective, but rather depends on cultural, political and social factors. In many societies, historical representation has become a central aspect of the politics of memory, where governments and other power institutions use the past to shape collective identities and legitimize their actions. However, this leads to problems related to "control" of history, debates about what should be remembered and what should be forgotten, and the use of history to distort the past. The article is devoted to the analysis of the problem of the relationship between historical representation and the politics of memory. Understanding the issue of historical representation is critical to creating a more equitable society where the past is used to learn lessons and move forward.

Abstract

Religion still occupies and maintains a formally and informally privileged position in many modern societies. It retains these privileges despite the growing number of people who call themselves “irreligious”. There are laws, still derived from a particular religious tradition, who entail a lopsided position of states and societies, as well as the impossibility of openly expressing a contrary opinion. This problem entails a fear of the other, of difference and diversity. This fear lays the groundwork for the reciprocity of reactionary extremism This article will illustrate this treatment of the non-religious in the context of the debate on 'Islamophobia'.

Abstract

Catholic post-Trident theology, despite its significant presence in the intellectual sphere of the XVI-XVII centuries and intense activity to restore the position of the church, is poorly represented in research. In Poland, in this context, where there was a heated debate between Orthodox and Catholics, unfolding, including on the pages of books, the key figure is the Jesuit P. Skarga. Regardless the large amount of attention from researchers, his works remain untranslated, and some aspects of his ideas are unexpressed. The purpose of the study is to find out which theological traditions influenced P.Skarga and which theological arguments for polemic in his writings he uses. As a result of the research, it turned out that P.Skarga in his works synthesizes the ideas of the scholastic, including post-trident, and humanistic traditions, clearly follows the patristic doctrine of heretics, at the same time, speaks sympathetically about pagans, expresses ideas influenced by R. Bellarmino, about ideal form of state, slightly touches on the topic of monarchomachy.

Abstract

The article raises current issues related to the spread of new sociocultural practices and the characteristics of modern youth culture in general. It is noted that young people are actively changing their understanding of their purpose, role in society and their life plans. A comprehensive analysis of youth culture allows us to consider it from a socio-philosophical and cultural perspective. The work shows that sociocultural practices involve addressing not only various types of activities, but also those complex processes that are currently changing the entire sociocultural environment and contributing to the transformation of the value system of young people. The focus of the article is on the question of how objectively social transformations force the younger generation to distance itself from established traditional social relations and patterns of behavior that form identity. The conclusion is drawn about the marginalization of some modern youth cultural practices.
