Abstract

The relevance of the study is caused by the intensity of changes in young people's ideas about the future during wartime. These processes are not always realized and often occur imperceptibly for the person themselves, which makes it difficult to fix the dynamics of changes by traditional methods. These difficulties can be overcome by using the possibilities of social media and media content to visualize young people's ideas about the future. The aim of the article is to highlight the results of an empirical study of young people's ideas about the future, which is done by the method of collages using media content. Method and methodology. The study involved students of higher education institutions located in Kyiv, who study programs in the humanities and natural sciences, aged 17 to 22 years. The total sample size is 91 people (71 - female and 20 – male. Among women, 36 are those who stay in Ukraine after the start of the war, 35 are abroad). The collage technique was used in the empirical study. The obtained results testify to the fact that the challenges of the war change the vision of the youth about their own future and the future of the state. For its visualization, media content is used, which mainly contains national symbols, images of the Ukrainian military, which indicates a patriotic attitude and a clear expression of national identity. Young people see the future of Ukraine in the EU. Differences in the ideas of representatives of individual groups of the researched about the future (their own and the country) were revealed. Women who stay in Ukraine are characterized by an orientation towards the realization of their own life goals thanks to personal activity in the professional sphere, and a gradual increase in well-being. For women who are abroad, the focus on the rapid growth of material well-being and the satisfaction of their own desires is characteristic to a greater extent. Men's ideas about their own future are characterized by: orientation towards meeting leadership ambitions, building a career, obtaining additional military education. For women who stay in Ukraine, and for men, the country's future is largely connected with the development of Ukrainian language and culture, patriotism and a sense of pride for the victorious country. The ideas of the future of the country of women who are abroad are mostly characterized by the ideologies of cosmopolitanism, orientation towards the development of civic society, solving environmental problems, integration into international institutions, a sense of pride for the country due to its self-affirmation in the geopolitical space. Practical value. The results of studying the peculiarities of usage of media content to visualize ideas about the future can be used to define regional characteristics of youth identification. Prospects for further research are to define regional features of youth identification and taking into account these features to identify possible directions for the development of state educational policy.
