Youth leisure time in a modern metropolis

The article focuses on analyzing the peculiarities of organizing youth leisure in a metropolis. The materials of a sociological survey among young residents of the capital of Kazakhstan, Astana, reveal the specifics of the infrastructure of a large city and the features of the cultural and leisure activities of the young generation. A profound transformation of youth leisure practices associated with the modernization of public consciousness and changes in youth leisure expectations is shown. The range of leisure preferences of young Astana residents has been determined: in the structure of youth leisure, the rating of cultural and creative practices is decreasing, while that of cultural and consumer forms is increasing. The article briefly describes how
the entertainment segment is growing in Astana and outlines the technology used to organize cultural and leisure activities. The author’s attention is directed towards the technology of sociocultural animation, aiming to
humanize the free time of young people and create conditions for their self-realization and self-affirmation through sociocultural animation and leisure activities. Creating conditions for engagement of young people in
various spheres of social activity is the primary pedagogical meaning of sociocultural animation. The technology of sociocultural animation is most clearly manifested in the club work of youth leisure centers and additional
education. The author’s analysis of theoretical and applied aspects of youth leisure organization in a metropolis allowed to identify the specifics of the leisure time of the capital’s youth and the features of its cultural and leisure
practices. Among the specifics are unregulated and voluntary use of leisure time, which makes it possible to single out leisure as a separate social institution; a variety of forms of leisure activity, where new trends and hobbies appear along with traditional forms; features of the environment of youth leisure (in the company of friends, peers, outdoors); predominance of cultural and consumer practices in the structure of youth leisure. The strengthening of hedonistic components in the system of value-semantic attitudes of young people, the formation of a new social community oriented to the consumption of leisure services were revealed
