Tajikistan's cultural heritage and civic identity
The author analyzes the problems of preservation and actualization of the cultural heritage of Tajikistan. The role and fundamental task of UNESCO in the preservation of cultural heritage is emphasized, and the Days of Tajik Culture at UNESCO in 2021 are described. The author believes that through the prism of research on civil consciousness and identity of the Tajiks, it is necessary to attract young people to the study of cultural heritage and the formation of civil consciousness. Along with the study of national heritage, the process of learning the ethno-cultural identity of the “other” culture develops intercultural competence of students. The values and meanings embedded in educational programs influence the formation and development of civic identity and conflict-free integration into the world community, while allowing the preservation of ethnic identity.
