Abstract

The formation of national and cultural identity is an important scientific matter that should reflect a complex and multifaceted process in the context of the formation and development of our state. Right now - yesterday, today and tomorrow - the problem of forming a national and cultural identity among young people is becoming urgent because of the threat to the integrity of our state. Therefore, scientists, teachers, and young people should unite and start looking for ways to form a national and cultural identity through the development and testing of personality-oriented technologies. The fundamental basis for moral values in the formation of a person's national and cultural identity is responsibility, justice, dignity and freedom. At the same time, upbringing and education are parallel courses and should be inseparable, especially in childhood and adolescence, when national and cultural identity is being formed. We need to develop in children positive motivation to develop their own national selfawareness, developing one's own moral values, fostering tolerant behavior, collective interaction and friendship, respectful attitude to Ukrainian traditions, customs, etiquette, Ukrainian culture, history, language, expand knowledge about oneself, one's family, city, village, Ukraine.
