Ivanov was the Makarenko award holder and the author of a theory of collective creative education with its main principles of humanism, part- nership between generations, democracy, common care. The paper aims to justify the importance of the pedagogy of common care as a developing system and to reveal the opportunities of collective creative education in the modern educational practice. The subject matter is an educational partner- ship between generations in social life and teaching practice. The method of reflection is used to discuss the universal nature of it in the personal experience of a growing person. Humanitarian creative collaboration is considered as an effective type of modern education relationships. The key Ivanov's idea of collaboration and care has a social meaning and makes a contribution to the process of upbringing. The author also acknowledges its intrinsic value for the process of education. It means the evolution of personal attitude to different sides of life, to other people and themselves and overcoming of one's own negative traits and negative aspects of life. The process of upbringing is presented as a multilevel process of common care. Common care is the foundation of cooperation between children and adults. It aims to improve the lives of everyone, the present and future life. These ideas are essential for a contradictory situation in modern education. The results of a survey among St. Petersburg school teachers and students of educational programs at the Institute of Humanities at Saint Petersburg State Polytechnic University are presented. They expressed their opinion on the ideas of collective creative education in the modern world. The out- comes of the survey illustrate the power of the pedagogy of common care at modern scientific and practical level.
