Formation of Ukrainian identity of the population in the conditions of martial law

The issue of the formation of Ukrainian national identity in martial law is relevant to the future of the state and each of its citizens. Existing studies have focused only on the national-patriotic education of children and youth. Adults were not the subject of education in terms of national-patriotic education. And social workers were not engaged in social education of young and adult population in the context of the national idea and Ukrainocentrism. They focused on the problems of socialization of children and youth. Today, however, new forms of work with children and adults have emerged - educational activities on the Ukrainian Charter of the Free Man and community integration activities with the population, which should be combined and used by educators and social workers together. The purpose of the article is to identify and summarize new ways of forming the Ukrainian identity of children and adults in wartime. Research methods include theoretical analysis, generalization of experience, synthesis, document analysis, and observation. The research methodology at the level of scientific approaches is competence-based, Ukraine-centered, national security, environmental, self-help, and humanitarian response. The scientific novelty of the article is the explanation of the mechanism and possibilities of this new experience of combining integration measures with the principles of the Ukrainian Charter of a Free Man for better formation of Ukrainian identity in the conditions of war. The practical results of the study are a description of the possibilities of applying the new experience based on the analysis of new ways of forming the national identity of children and adults in wartime. The experience of integration activities with the implementation of an educational program for children and youth on the Ukrainian Charter of the Free Man in the Ternopil region of Ukraine is presented. On the basis of the Ternopil Regional Communal Institute of Postgraduate Pedagogical Education (Ternopil, Ukraine), scientific and practical conferences on the implementation of the Ukrainian Charter of a Free Man were held, which made it possible to spread the implementation of experience from the regional level to the All-Ukrainian level.
