Description
Summary:The article is addressed to the heads of museums and libraries of educational institutions, college and university lecturers, school teachers and teachers of additional education, class teachers, advisors on educational work and the administration of educational institutions. The article examines the issue of how the museum and library space of an educational institution can become an effective space for informal education and a "Third Place" not only for teachers and students, but also for a wide range of local communities, as well as communities formed on the basis of common interests in the space of both a small town and a metropolis. We consider the educational space in close connection with the principles of participation (culture of participation) and the features of excursion and pedagogical activity based on the mastery of directing an educational event space. In our research, we rely on Russian and international experience in the development of "children's museums", participatory cultural institutions, "Third Places", as well as on the practices of modern theater pedagogy (drama in education), mediation and moderation. The article pays special attention to the study of the Laboratory of Sociocultural Educational Practices of the Research Institute of Urban Studies and Global Education of the Moscow City Pedagogical University, conducted in the 2024-2025 academic year, mainly using qualitative methods, in the process of developing the museum and library space of the Laboratory. This space is intended to become an innovative informal educational space within a formal educational institution and serve as a model for the development of similar spaces for other educational institutions. It is assumed that such a space is created inside classrooms where both current classes for students, graduate students, course participants and other participants in postgraduate education, as well as other events are held: seminars, conferences, club meetings and other types of educational activities. The initiators of meetings in this environment can be both employees of the educational institution and representatives of informal communities who are visitors to the educational space.
