Hurry up to do good: from a multimedia project to the education of kindness

Abstract

The words in the title of this article belong to the famous Russian doctor Fyodor Petrovich Haaz, a true symbol of kindness, who has proved the possibility and necessity of doing good with his whole life. However, the opposite is happening today – we are alarmingly observing a significant decrease in the level of empathy and kindness among students, students and other population groups at the local and international levels. We are also concerned about the sharply increased aggressiveness in different parts of the world, which inevitably affects the lives of children and adolescents, leading to many irreparable tragedies and misfortunes. All this forced us to rethink our priorities and created the urgent need for a new project based on one of the most key and unifying values unanimously accepted by mankind. We are talking about kindness, which we all easily distinguish, accept from an early age and highly appreciate throughout life. Our project was dedicated to this, a brief description of which is the essence of the article.
