Inculturation and formation of national self-identity of Tatar youth in diaspora

The preservation of the cultural diversity of the modern world depends on the presence of national consciousness among children and youth. The purpose of this research is to study the processes of enculturation and the potential of family education and the activities of the diaspora in the formation of national identity among representatives of the younger generations. Particular importance in the study of the processes of enculturation is given to tradition, structured environment, hierarchy in the organization of the educational process in the diaspora.The results of the study of these issues gave objective reasons to believe that the effectiveness of preserving national culture and self-identity among representatives of the Tatar people in a global world is determined by the traditions of raising children and depends on taking into account regional specifics and opportunities in the countries of compact residence of Tatars outside the historical homeland.In this regard, the study of aspects of the continuity of traditions in the diaspora (enculturation) proves that the continuity of educational traditions has become a reliable means of the versatile development of children and the preservation of the national identity of the people, regardless of the differences in culture, religion, language of the ethnic groups of the countries of residence.The solution of the problem is seen through rising of an educational and intellectual potential of the nation, creating a special linguistic and cultural environment, structuring the social space traditional for the Tatar people, and increasing the educational role of the family and traditions.
