ON MULTICULTURAL EDUCATION OF THE ADULT POPULATIONIN CIVIL SOCIETY (IN THE ARCTIC REGION)

The specificity of the situation in the Sakha Republic (Yakutia) gives rise to the need to update the multicultural educational policy with an emphasis on the adult population that can serve as a response to the challenges of ethnic diversity. This article is devoted to the problem of teaching multicultural communication in a civil society in modern conditions of coexistence of different cultures in a civil society (in the Arctic region) with an emphasis on the educating of an interculturally competent and tolerant adult. The key question of the article: how to develop such a multicultural education that, on the one hand, is aimed at integrating migrants into society and, on the other hand, effectively influences the teaching of intercultural communication of the local and newcomer adult population. The issue is being discussed within the framework of the cultural sustainability of the Arctic development. The author examines the potential of education to improve sustainability in the face of changes in the Arctic region. The article concludes that informal learning, or learning in a civil society, should play a key role in the education and integration of citizens who have an understanding of the norms and principles of living in a multicultural environment. One of the main educational tasks of such a civil society is to increase citizens’ interethnic and intercultural competences, as well as foster a tolerant attitude towards the manifestations of diversity in society. The article discusses some approaches to teaching informal multicultural communication.
