Abstract

The article highlights Ukrainian and international experience of forming and developing state youth policy in the sphere of active civic engagement. The findings suggest that European countries devote much attention to the following areas: social inclusion of young people with disabilities in public activities; increase in the levels of youth participation in civic life ranging from global to local; use of the possibilities of the virtual world. The study provides a comparative analysis of the effectiveness of measures implemented at the state level and identifies prospects for further development in this area. Taking into consideration the main areas of international youth policy the evidence from this study indicates that there are several promising and important areas in this domain for Ukraine among which are: social inclusion of young people with disabilities in public life; expansion of the levels of youth participation in civic life from global to local; use of the possibilities of the virtual world. The Concept of the State Targeted Social Program "Youth of Ukraine" for 2021-2025 adopted in Ukraine takes into account the shortcomings of previous years and significantly expands the opportunities for social inclusion of young people who have fewer opportunities for inclusion in public life. However, it is extremely important to ensure the implementation of a certain approach at all levels of the educational process. The same applies to the second direction - expanding the levels of youth participation in civic life. The creation of conditions for the inclusion of the population in civic activities and the formation of an active citizenship should take place at all levels, starting with preschool educational institutions. This approach will help to form in young people a conscious attitude to their own position in society and the formation of an intrinsic motivation to participate in public life. It is promising for Ukraine to continue the introduced policy in the field of media literacy for the coming years. Висвітлено вітчизняний та міжнародний досвід державної молодіжної політики у напрямку формування активної громадянської позиції. Визначено, що серед основних напрямків міжнародної молодіжної політики, які є перспективними та важливими для України є соціальна інклюзія молоді з обмеженими можливостями включення у громадське життя; розширення рівнів участі молоді у громадянському житті від глобального до місцевого; використання можливостей віртуального світу. Прийнята в Україні Концепція Державної цільової соціальної програми «Молодь України» на 2021-2025 враховує недоліки попередніх років та значно розширює можливості соціальної інклюзії молоді, яка має менші можливості включення у громадське життя. Однак, вкрай важливим є забезпечення реалізації визначеного підходу на всіх рівнях державного та освітнього процесу. Це ж стосується і другого напрямку – розширення рівнів участі молоді у громадянському житті.
