What are children's organizations? In addition to informal youth movements, there are various children's institutions in the country. As a rule, they are led by adults. Let us dwell on this issue in more detail, because it is children's organizations that perform the most important educational function - they form the younger generation.
What is the baby movement
This is an objective movement that is generated by society. Children at a certain age (mainly 9-15 years old) have a desire to communicate with their peers, to implement joint large-scale projects. Children's organizations are created on the basis of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child. It is in this document that the freedom of peaceful assembly and association is proclaimed as a norm for children.
Science Facts
The results of statistical studies show that recently the social activity of children and adolescents has been growing significantly. They need organizations that would fully satisfy their interests, identify and develop abilities and talents. The work of the children's organization should be organized in such a way thatso that the guys feel respect, trust in them from mentors.
After the collapse of the Komsomol and pioneer organizations, which for several decades carried out a lot of educational tasks, children's organizations have become a rarity in our country.
Relevance of the problem
Psychologists are convinced that they are currently vital for the Russian Federation, as they contribute to the involvement of children in practical activities, help them gain their first social experience, and are a means of teaching the younger generation some social skills.
The activities of the children's organization are organized taking into account their individual abilities and the needs of their parents. Such associations are an excellent way to develop civic qualities in a child, without which it will be difficult for him to adapt in a democratic society.
Legislative Framework
All children's educational organizations function on the basis of the laws of the Russian Federation, in particular, the documents "On Education", "On Public Associations", "On Support for Children's and Youth Public Organizations". Among the forms of public children's associations are: organization, movement, fund, institution.
Features of children's public organizations
They are self-governing and amateur associations that are created to solve a specific problem. Such organizations are guided in theiractivity charter or other constituent documents, are distinguished by a fixed number of members, a clear structure.
There are more than 200 public youth associations and organizations of various kinds in our country. Some of them are called unions, leagues, associations.
At this stage of development, children's organizations are trying to find their own direction, which would be the most relevant and rational depending on the region.
Principles
Among them, we can mention self-organization, which consists in creating and promoting associations from below. Many programs created in kindergartens and educational institutions are exploratory in nature and reflect the results of the collective and amateur creativity of enthusiastic teachers. Among the main functions that public associations perform are:
- involvement of the individual in social relations, socialization of the younger generation;
- thinking of life activities that would fully satisfy the needs of children and parents (legal representatives), corresponded to the moral and emotional state, age characteristics;
- protection of individual freedoms and rights from the negative impacts of the social environment;
- changing various influences on a person, his behavior (assistance in social and moral development).
Among the distinctive parameters of such organizations are democracy, voluntariness, and openness. They use personnel in their work,financial, technical support of other state institutions.
That is why children tend to get into such associations. Both children's organizations and educational institutions on the basis of which they operate are interested in the fact that the younger generation is maximally involved in creative activities of various directions.
The management of an amateur children's association does not imply a rigid framework. From time to time there may be different members in the leadership, the emphasis is on cooperation between all members of the organization.
Features of work
The involvement of the younger generation in social activities should be carried out from an early age. That is why the organization of a kindergarten with a certain bias (line of activity) has become commonplace in our country. Some preschools even have volunteer units. Toddlers help adults take care of plants in a living corner, arrange creative exhibitions.
Summarize
In modern Russia, the attitude towards the creative activity of children and adolescents has changed significantly. There are new organizations that contribute to the formation of citizenship in the younger generation. The children's movement is considered as a set of actions of various organizations that exist in the region or territorial unit (district, city). In Russia today it is represented by international, federal, regional, interregional children'sorganizations that differ significantly from each other in directions, forms, types.
In particular, the following activity priorities are singled out: focused on the individual, socially significant, civil, environmental, tourism, local history, youth army. The last activity is one of the most popular. A large-scale movement of young patriots has been created in Russia, who treat their country with respect, are proud of its traditions, and study its historical roots.
Among temporary children's associations are regional, Russian, international competitions, festivals, reviews developed within the framework of the federal program "Young Russia". Children's public associations, which include children under 18, are a form of social education, organized leisure for children, an effective means of obtaining their own life experience, independence. Children who are involved in projects that are significant for society from early childhood become much more successful, socially adapted, and competitive in the labor market in the future.
