The "Boiling Point" in the development of communication aspects of social ecology of modern society

Abstract

Aim: To analyse and characterise the activity of the Boiling Point of Dagestan State University (DSU) as a new developing space for the activation of scientific and social activities in the region, including among students, from the standpoint of social ecology.
The lack of clear boundaries in the definition of the concept of "social ecology" creates room for interpretation, which damages the accuracy of scientific research and complicates the development of effective social and environmental strategies for educating students. This lack makes it impossible to set and implement socio‐psychological and educational tasks for the development of public space in order to give a new meaning to the "third mission of the university" and expand the format of the DSU "Boiling Point" educational platform. The innovative and educational platform Boiling Point of DSU, through fulfilling the functions of personal ecology development, ecological relations in society as opposed to toxic ones (destroying or constraining social development) and, nurtures a new generation of youth focused on continuous comprehensive self‐ development. At the same time, they create the competencies necessary for modern society in organisational interaction with government agencies and social movements.
Based on new formats for expanding the environmental friendliness of society, measures have been proposed to use the results of Boiling Point's activities in the overall socio‐economic development of the region, namely, by relevant ministries and departments in order to achieve an optimal level of individual needs and quality of life.
