Abstract

The borderland as a sociocultural phenomenon is characterized by ethnocultural diversity, multilingualism, and value heterogeneity, which shape the specific nature of identity and self-determination processes among the younger generation. In the context of hybrid reality, these processes become more complex under the destructive influence of both external and internal factors (such as informational disorientation, distortion of concepts, and politicization of the educational space). Under such conditions, the formation of youth's life orientations including values, meanings, behavioral models, and life strategiesrequires scholarly reflection that considers the context of the borderland environment. Life orientations of youth constitute a complex integrative structure of personality that encompasses a system of values, meaning-making attitudes, priorities, and goals which shape a young person s relationship with the world, the self, and others, while also regulating behavior and life choices. Youth in Ukraine s borderland regions demonstrate a set of distinctive features shaped by the geographic and cultural-communicative characteristics of the border areas: flexibility and adaptability; multilingualism and intercultural communication; combination of traditional and modern values; identification uncertainty and formation of dual (or multiple) identities; high mobility; a sense of social instability; increased sensitivity to external evaluation and social recognition; influence of family migration experience on life orientations; informational polarization; and elevated levels of emotional and psychological maturity. This specificity highlights the urgent need to develop pedagogical approaches that not only account for the unique features of the borderland but also contribute to the formation of a holistic, value-oriented personality capable of acting responsibly amid today s challenges. It is advisable to design targeted educational, instructional, and social programs aimed at supporting youth s life self-determination in conditions of value multiplicity, intercultural contact, and hybrid threats.
