THE POTENTIAL OF HOLIDAYS IN FORMING SPIRITUALLY-MORAL CULTURE AMONG STUDENTS
A holiday is one of the most widespread forms, in which socially significant experience is stored and transferred to other generations. The authors of this paper consider the role of a holiday in the formation of the spiritual and moral culture of an individual. The article emphasizes that at the present stage the society is experiencing a period of spiritual crisis, which leads to the loss of the meaningful orientations of the youth. A special role in the solution of this problem is given to the system of higher education, within the framework of which the consciousness of young Russian citizens is formed through the transfer of the values, culture, and memory of generations. The use of a holiday as a natural canvas for the educational process will expand the zone of spiritual and moral development of student youth, will promote the all-round development of young people.
