The construct pedagogy of borderlands as a methodological basis for tolerance education

Abstract

The proposed study reveals the essence of borderland pedagogy, which is based on intercultural dialogue, the integration of educational approaches from different systems and the consideration of the socio-cultural context. The author analyses the theoretical foundations of tolerance education in the context of modern pedagogical paradigms and identifies the key aspects of forming a tolerant worldview in the educational environment. The article presents the author's educational program ‘The construct of borderland pedagogy as a methodological basis for teaching tolerance’, which structurally consists of 8 modules. The program contains theoretical, methodological and practical components of borderland pedagogy, revealing its role in the formation of national identity, the development of intercultural communication and the promotion of peaceful coexistence in heterogeneous communities. Particular attention is paid to the education of tolerance as a key competence of a modern personality, which allows a person to interact effectively in a diverse social space.The program is aimed at educational professionals, public figures, and all those interested in creating a tolerant society capable of constructive dialogue and peaceful coexistence.It is noted that an effective educational strategy for border regions should be based on a deep understanding of the personality that develops under the conditions of cultural and ethnic diversity. Considering their multidimensional identity, interests, and needs all these factors allow for creating a comfortable educational space that supports individual development, promotes successful integration, and fosters sustainable intercultural relations. Using the unique opportunities created by the interaction of different ethnicities and traditions allows not only for the preservation of cultural identity, but also for the promotion of openness, tolerance and active citizenship among the younger generation.
