Experience of social and pedagogical partnership in the formation of the Russian national identity among students
Abstract
The article considers the experience of social and pedagogical partnership with the Russian Orthodox Church in forming the Russian national identity among students. The study is based on an interdisciplinary approach combining historical methods, surveys, and participant observation. It focuses on events organized jointly with the Diocesan Department of Religious Education from 2015 to 2023, where students participated in various activities to enhance their spiritual and moral development. The study shows that engagement with the Orthodox culture within an educational framework enhanced students’ understanding of national values and
strengthened their Russian national identity. This partnership contributed to their moral education and facilitated the development of leadership and collaborative skills through group projects. Students reported a stronger sense of civic responsibility and a deeper connection to traditional cultural values. This partnership enriched educational results by incorporating spiritual and moral education into the university experience. It contributed to their personal growth and ability to navigate professional and social roles with a strong moral foundation.
