Analysis of technologies of youth’s political participation in Moscow
The article is devoted to the study of technologies for the political participation of youth in Moscow, such as technologies for participation in youth parliaments and representative youth bodies (through the Youth Parliament and the Youth Chamber of Moscow, the State Budgetary Institution of Culture of Moscow “Center for Youth Parliamentarism”); technologies of political, civil, legal education and enlightenment implemented by non-state non-profit organizations (project of Sakharov Academy Center “Moscow Open School of Human Rights”; ANO “Moscow School of Human Rights”, Non-profit Center for Civil Education, Moscow School of Civil Education, Open School of Law of the National Research University “Higher School of Economics”|, ANO “Center for Patriotic Development “RUSICH”). The conclusion that technologies for constituting the political behavior of young people should be of a long-term, activity-oriented, practical-oriented nature, with the exception, if possible, of manipulating consciousness of the younger generation, is justified. It is argued that the effectiveness and significance of technologies for the political participation of Moscow youth should be assessed in relationship of two criteria: an increase in the turnout of the younger generation at polling stations (1); development of political, civil and legal competencies and acquisition of political self-identification of representatives of the younger generation (2). It was concluded that civil education and pedagogical technologies are in demand in aspects of the development of civil law competencies of young people. The author's recommendations were formulated regarding the scaling of such technologies in the regions of Russia, which relate to the development of mechanisms for intersectoral social partnership in the field of education and enlightenment of young people; exploring the possibilities of scaling successful technologies for constructivisation of civil and political education of youth, taking into account the efficiency of regional youth parliaments and youth chambers, as well as the level of development of youth public organizations in the regions.
