Abstract

The author reveals the process of folk festival organization and holding in the institution of children’s healthcare and recreation. Modern society is characterized by integrative processes, the interaction of different ethnic groups, and human activities. The similarity of historical destinies, ways of life, and peoples’ ethnic consciousness lay strong foundations for their peaceful, tolerant coexistence and mutual development. Complex civilizational, socio-economic processes of urban society and radical life changes determine the search for ways of such integration. However, ethnic revival is relevant as one of the main features of human development in the XXI century. It should be noted that the process of selfidentification as a nation involves the preservation and promotion of historical memory, Ukrainian national culture, and the national education system.
