The issue of finding the mechanisms for interaction between different cultures and religions is relevant today for many countries of the world. In the context of globalization, the establishment of intercultural ties is an extremely important process. Despite this, the issue of creating a comfortable multicultural environment for training tolerant, highly educated public and religious figures is still insufficiently researched. The objective of this study is to develop conceptual foundations for the formation of multicultural and polyreligious spiritual educational complexes as a new “universal” enlarged type of spiritual educational institution for representatives of various religions and confessions (Christian, Muslim, Jewish), as well as recommendations regarding their design, taking into account religious and confessional features. During the study, we used theoretical and empirical research methods. Based on that, the principles of the architectural and planning organization of a multicultural polyreligious spiritual educational complex are formulated, where all levels of spiritual education (primary, secondary, higher) and all functions necessary for comprehensive education, as well as intellectual and spiritual development, are presented in a holistic manner. It is concluded that the use of the developed and proposed scientific principles in the design of these objects will contribute to the formation of a harmonious multicultural and polyreligious educational environment.

The Relationship

While the ethnic food market has become increasingly important in Italy, the effects of the hybridization of consumption patterns have been slowed by a consolidated culinary tradition. This study investigates the relationships among ethnic food consumption, food neophobia, and openness to different cultures with sociodemographic characteristics. A sample of 1317 Italian consumers responded to an online survey. The sociodemographic profile of the neophobic consumer appears to substantially differ from that of the consumer with an attitude of openness. Neophobic respondents are males, are older than 55 years of age, are less educated, have children, are retired, have difficulty meeting their financial responsibilities, and do not eat ethnic food. Respondents who are more open to different cultures are young adults, are highly educated, have no children, are employed, and are consumers of ethnic food. The relationship between food neophobia and openness to different cultures is confirmed to be the relationship between these variables and ethnic food consumption. The measurement of these characteristics could serve as a crucial indicator for analyzing the willingness to accept elements of novelty in an increasingly multicultural society. Additionally, consumers with the neophobic trait and who are less open to different cultures might have a less varied diet that is essential to good health.

We also discuss ways to remedy these problems, starting with pre-service teacher education programs and ending with these prospective teachers themselves.

The article is devoted to the issues of monitoring the effectiveness of patriotic education of student youth in the context of the activity of a general educational institution. It is determined that monitoring is an evaluation activity aimed at determining the effectiveness of educational influences, studying the characteristics of the group in order to assess the level of education, and optimization of educational and upbringing processes. It is shown that the scientific principles of the organization of patriotic education of student youth require taking into account the level of their patriotic upbringing. It is proved that the main purpose of determining the effectiveness of pedagogical processes is to study the personalities of students, which allows to control the course and pace of their mental development, identify their individual and potential capabilities, features of class groups to identify general and functional delays, mental, labor and ethical difficulties in the development and thus scientifically measure the management of educational and upbringing processes. The main components of patriotic upbringing are characterized: cognitive, emotional-motivational, and activity ones. The key criteria of patriotic upbringing of student youth are revealed – knowledge and imagination, social behavior, activity and efficiency. It is noted that in the context of the implementation of personality-oriented approach, the study of student personality provides for the consideration of those requirements that are due, on the one hand, to the basic psychological and pedagogical principles, on the other, to the specific conditions of educational processes. It is concluded that after analyzing the formation of individual personality traits of each student, a general map is made in the classroom. In particular, the levels of education of each student and individual groups of students are shown, as well as to what extent and in what sphere of life (study, peers, work, self-education) at a given time a student can demonstrate independence, initiative, self-regulation of behavior, and who of them can do it only with the teacher’s support. Thus, the success of educational activities depends on the deep study of the inner world of students, on understanding the motives of their behavior. The teacher studies students not only in class, but also in the process of educational work: in extracurricular activities, when visiting the student’s family, during hiking and excursions, etc. The research does not claim to provide an exhaustive disclosure of all aspects of the specified problem. Further study and development are needed with the methodological bases to ensure the development of the process of patriotic education in the schools of Ukraine. Questions are raised as to formation of readiness of pedagogical workers for implementing the process of patriotic education in the conditions of decentralization

Pedagogical Framework

The article highlights the theoretical and pedagogical frameworks for polyculturalism and multiculturalism as the foundational values attributable to future foreign language teachers in general and teachers, or instructors of languages for specific purposes, in particular. The findings substantiate the importance of pedagogical framework for poly- / multiculturalism given the fact that the created poly- / multicultural and polylingual environment of higher educational institution as a principle condition in value chain education may ensure the formation of poly- / multicultural personality of a foreign language teacher and LSP instructor. That becomes possible with the help of growing their socio cultural identity while students master the system of knowledge, concepts and ideas about poly- / multiculturalism in the poly- / multicultural environment of their classroom and improve social communication skills. It is stated that the complex of pedagogical conditions may well promotepoly- / multiculturalism for future teachers of foreign languages and LSP instructors. It is underlined that pedagogical framework for polyculturalism in a foreign language classroom, aiming to teach philology students, rests on the following: (i) construction of training process in regards to foreign languages on the integration principle of educational disciplines with existing poly- / multicultural component according to tasks and the basic components of poly- / multiculturalism; (ii) application of interactive technologies for the formation of socio- cultural and poly- / multicultural competence, which includes bilingualism and poly- / multilingualism (didactic conditions); (iii) creation of a poly- / multicultural educational environment; (iv) dialogical interaction in the course of socio-cultural activities (educational conditions) inter alia.

The Russian Language

Still relevant today via mobility and the multicultural environment as the constitutive elements of our globalized societies, the reflections around “the cumbersome problem of the genius of languages” (Cassin 2016) join and enrich the question of living together and building oneself. In the field of literature or human sciences, the thought of the practice of languages in a situation of diglossia has forged an imaginary which often connects the passage from one language to another to a balance of power and a tension of identity. We propose an analysis of the symbolic values of the dilemma between the Romanian language and the Russian language which is at the heart of the diegesis of the novel Grădina de sticlă [The Glass Garden] by Tatiana Țîbuleac. Published in Romanian by Éditions Cartier de Chișinău and translated into several languages, including French and Spanish, the book was awarded the European Union Prize for Literature in 2019. The fictional world and the language of writing describe a symbolic abyss: the author describes in Romanian the fight with the Russian of a Moldovan orphan who is trying to rebuild herself between the two languages. In a very colorful style, the novel deploys a po(ï)etics of “between”, which also has a political dimension.

It was specified that the complexity of training social educators in British experience consists in the fact that these specialists should have the knowledge of various issues: from the principles of social and cultural state policy, general organization of social security system, specificity of cultural and leisure infrastructure functioning, demographic peculiarities to relevant methods of working with different gropus of population. It was clarified that prospects for further research should be aimed at analyzing educational scientific and methodological recommendations of international experience in training social educators.
