Tolerance as a universal competence in the system of european education

Urgency of the research. The concept of tolerance is a cross-cutting ethical guide for the functioning of all socio-cultural mechanisms of a globalized society. The higher education system is not an exception. This is a system, in which the contradictions of intercultural interaction, respect for worldviews, etc. should be resolved in a specific way, and substantiation of tolerant interpersonal interaction strategies is an urgent task for researchers in higher education.

Target setting. Modern European education declares a focus on the reproduction of humanistic values and creative self-development of the individual, which is impossible without the establishment of democratic values in the public consciousness and political and legal reality. However, there is a need to generalize the theoretical and, no less important, practical mechanisms for implementing these approaches.

Actual scientific researches and issues analysis. The problem of tolerance in ensuring the mechanisms of development of a globalized society is studied in the works of T. Andrushchenko, S. Bondyreva, M. Kushnaryova and others. Worldview challenges of education development are analyzed in the works of Yu. Kalynovsky, M. Kolotylo, G. Niko-lay, O. Ovcharuk, V. Reut, L. Ryzhak, Yu. Shabanova and others. The specifics of adherence to the principles of inclusion and academic honesty were analyzed by O. Vakhrina, Yu. Kalinovsky, Yu. Kruk, G. Nesterenko and others.

The research objective. The author aims to identify the features of the implementation of the principles of tolerance as an important educational practice in accordance with the humanistic ideas of the European educational space.

The statement of basic material. Formal and informal means are used to foster tolerance in European educational institutions, including through the establishment of a complex set of moral values (inclusion, principles of academic integrity, etc.). The declared principles are reflected in the codes of ethics, which serve as guidelines for the development of national educational systems, provide an ethical foundation for educational practices of specific universities, and so on.

Conclusions. Based on the analysis of the discourse of tolerance in European education, it was possible to come to a number of consolidations: the formation of a European type of personality forms the task of educating value competencies that form the basis of its thinking and action; tolerance is a universal competence based on which it is possible to ensure human rights and principles of democracy, the implementation of the ideology of peacebuilding and the perception of ethical norms of behavior of others, the development of environmental and information security, etc.; education and adherence to the basic values of the European educational space ensures the harmonization of the European space, balanced perception of the other, creates an atmosphere of respect and desire for cooperation, ensures the existence of everyone in a complex European society; research and further provision of educational practices of tolerance appears as an urgent social task of civilizational development.
