Abstract In the context of forced displacement, students face a number of challenges that affect their educational process and cognitive development. This article examines the ways and means of developing active and creative thinking among students living in Azerbaijan through the prism of various methodological approaches. The study is based on cognitive, socio-cultural, psychological, pedagogical and integrated approaches, which make it possible to identify the mechanisms and tools for the development of creativity in students. The article discusses the features of students' thinking in conditions of movement, including flexibility, emotional receptivity, adaptability and interdisciplinary perception of information. The focus is on methods for developing creative thinking, such as interactive learning, project activities, creative tasks, the use of digital technologies and psychological support. Examples of successful educational initiatives in Azerbaijan aimed at supporting students who have survived forced displacement are given. Adaptation programs, educational camps, international grants and support for youth startups are considered. In conclusion, the importance of a systematic and integrated approach in educational programs is emphasized, which contributes not only to the successful adaptation of students, but also to their further professional growth. The development of active and creative thinking in this category of students plays a key role in the formation of competitive specialists and the development of society as a whole.
