Moscow's education succeeds in a very difficult thing. The easiest way would be to reduce military-patriotic work with school children to grandiloquent slogans of little meaning to modern children to solemn lines by the next momentous date. Instead, & mdash; meetings with those who have accomplished the feat, educational quests, parachuting, military translation with professional linguists and other memorable and educational events. About them in an interview with AiF said the director of the Moscow center “ Patriot.Sport & # 39; & # 39; Marat Kuchushev .
Dusty exhibitions are a thing of the past
Inna Aleinikova, AiF.ru: & nbsp; Commemorative events are organized in all schools for the 80th anniversary of the Battle of Moscow. Is there a common scenario for them?
Marat Kuchushev : & nbsp; This is not necessary, as teachers and school children have a lot of their own ideas. Just look at the variety of school museums open today. Almost all schools have a museum, sometimes several. The outdated view that a museum & mdash; this is a room that opens a few times a week to view the dusty exhibits. There is no such thing! Last year we awarded the best Moscow school museums in the Cup of Heroes competition. The prizes were awarded to 75 winning schools.
In the spring of this year, a Popular Militia Exhibition Competition was announced. Schoolchildren with teachers organized them, selected material for exhibitions. During the Soviet era, there was little public information about the militias. Many people were killed in the divisions formed in Moscow, where ordinary people surrendered at the behest of their hearts, many of them did not know how to handle weapons, but immediately went to the front lines. On October 11, 2021, the capital celebrated the Day of the People's Militia in Moscow for the first time. In schools, in the territory of which divisions were formed in 1941, ceremonial lines and rallies, lessons in courage, excursions and exhibitions, and meetings with descendants of the militia were held. In addition, in mid-December, the results of the competition “ In memory of the feat of the Moscow People's Militia in the Battle of Moscow '' will be announced. We are maintaining it with the Moscow City Duma. More than 200 educational organizations from the capital took part. The final step is now underway: teachers from the 12 finalist schools are organizing open classes and extracurricular activities at exhibitions and exhibits they have created specifically for the competition.

& mdash; What criteria do you use to evaluate exhibitions during competitions?
& mdash; Selection of exhibitions, link with descendants, quality and reliability of information provided to visitors, etc. Many children have been inspired to work in their school museums by completing the quest 'People's Achievement' & # 39; & # 39; at the Victory Museum. This exhibition on how Victory was forged from behind has been and will continue to be attended by students of Moscow schools. The promotion is not one-off, but permanent. The mayor gave the schoolchildren a gift, and in this school year alone, more than 100,000 people will complete the quest.
& mdash; You are pretty strict on school museums. So their level is high?
& mdash; Yes, the situation has changed a lot in a positive direction. By the way, a school museum standard is being developed in Moscow. The requirements will take into account where a particular exhibition is located: in a separate office, in the hall or on the street. We have also prepared a list of equipment that we believe is needed for a school museum: scanners to digitize data on exhibits, computers, panels for the daily display of historical documents, the exhibits can have QR codes for an upcoming child, point the phone and find out all about these things & mdash; where it was found, who it belonged to, how it got to school. The main thing is that the museum becomes a center where children not only come to see, but where they conduct research, communicate with each other, establish contacts with other schools, from which large projects are born. common. Every child and adult in our country should not forget the price of Victory.

Gathering for 10th grade students & mdash; with simulators
& mdash; It is clear from your story that museums evolve with the times. What are the other options for making the military-patriotic theme far from formality?
& mdash; Now children have a different format for perceiving information, so it needs to be presented in a different way. Teens love video content, videos on Tik-Tok, where everything is fast and short. This trend is also visible on educational platforms. For example, Moscow Electronic School offers short video lessons in all subjects. Educational texts should be supplemented with links to films and videos, i.e. providing information in a holistic way: where to watch and where to read. Of course, children derive a lot from live communication, meetings with the heroes of Russia – have a strong educational effect. military, cosmonauts, law enforcement. It's not the same as a portrait of a hero on the wall or a story in a textbook.

& mdash; In May, more than 5,000 Moscow schoolchildren took part in patronage actions in memory of the heroes of the militia: they put in order the monuments to the participants of the Great Patriotic War, the defense of Moscow, the heroes of the militia. 39; Soviet Union and Russia. Who are these children? Why do some do it and others don't?
& mdash; When there is an active person at school & mdash; principal, assistant, educator of the cadet class, or a teacher who lives and burns with it, & mdash; then the guys light up. For example, the principal of school number 709 Vladimir Druzhinin & mdash; a man with an active civic position, he has cadet classes, and the youth army movement, and campaigns, where he himself goes with the children as a senior comrade. Sponsorship actions, maintenance of monuments & mdash; a natural thing for the children of most schools and colleges, for them the love for the motherland, the memory of their ancestors & mdash; not an empty sound.
& mdash; What does your Patriot Sports Center do?
& mdash; Our institution, subordinate to the Department of Education and Science of the City of Moscow, has various fields of activity, all of which are related to sports and military-patriotic education. We supervise the movement of the youth army in the city, we carry out the educational project “Cadet class in a Moscow school”, we organize a five-day training camp for 10th graders year and students, and we organize sports competitions in schools. Our structure also includes the Pierre le Grand Maritime Center, where students follow additional education. Two clubs are open there: the Young Sailors Club named after the hero of Russia Andrey Dneprovsky and the Young Sailors Club named after A. Hero of Russia Konstantin Somov.

& mdash; In parenting talks, moms fearfully wonder what a five-day camp is. Please give first hand information.
& mdash; This is a 35 hour educational program in the Life Safety Fundamentals school subject. The teachers from their schools are with the kids at the boot camp, and our teachers run the boot camp. In order to reach all the children who have the possibility of attending the courses for health reasons, they are received in several places. Someone comes to the educational and methodological center “ Avangard '' in the Parc des Patriotes. At the disposal of the boys are simulators, armored vehicle training simulators, parachute jumping, laser firing range, etc. In addition, schoolchildren are waiting for the recreational and educational camp “ Patriot & # 39; & # 39; in Tuchkovo of the Ruza region and a number of military units.
In each administrative district
& mdash; How is the project developing with cadet classes in Moscow schools?
& mdash; For the 70th anniversary of the Victory, cadet classes were opened for the first time. In 2021 there are 261 schools with cadets, over 26,000 children are studying in grades 7 and 11. They thoroughly study the history of Russia, train in drill and fire, practice sports and creativity, master nearly 20 profiles: these are the profiles of the different types of troops of the Armed Forces of Russian Federation, Ministry of Foreign Affairs, FSB, Federal Security Service, Ministry of Interior, Ministry of Emergencies, etc. Career guidance is carried out on the basis of the partner universities, where students try their hand in professions, receive the first special skills and knowledge. For example, Moscow State Linguistic University is engaged in military translation. Cadets who have chosen the Aerospace Force Profile attend courses at Moscow State University. Lomonosov and MAI, study astronomy and mathematics, try their hand at unmanned aerial vehicle design and prototyping, 3D modeling and programming.

A 'Youth Army' & mdash; a public children's movement that is not directly related to general education disciplines, anyone can join, from the age of 8. In Moscow this fall we celebrated the fifth anniversary of the Youth Army. In 2016, the movement started with 500 people and there are now over 30,000 Yunarmeys in the city. The head of the Moscow headquarters is Colonel General, hero of Russia Vladimir Shamanov . His deputy & mdash; Major General, Hero of Russia Gevork Isakhanyan . These people, by their example and authority, inspire and teach children.
