18-year-old Coming of Age Ceremony Educational Activities Introduction
In recent years, every May Fourth, National Day or some important days, many large and medium-sized cities across the country will hold adult oath ceremonies. Groups of middle school students who have reached the age of 18 face the national flag. Take an oath and solemnly promise to the motherland and people: serve others, contribute to society; advocate science and pursue true knowledge. From then on, they will bid farewell to their boyhood and begin to assume responsibilities as adult citizens of the Republic. The 18-year-old coming-of-age ceremony education activity is a quality education activity initiated by the Communist Youth League among teenagers aged 16-18. Over the past few years, the activity has received active participation from teenagers and widespread praise from all walks of life, and has become a league organization An effective form of moral education for young people, especially middle school students, this activity has been included in the "Implementation Outline of Patriotism Education". In recent years, under the care and guidance of party and government leaders at all levels, with widespread support from all walks of life, and especially with the active exploration of youth league organizations at all levels, 18-year-old adult ceremony education activities have gradually embarked on a systematic, standardized and legalized track , the activities include three links: citizenship education , volunteer service in the adult preparatory period, and the adult oath ceremony. In order to ensure the standardized and systematic development of activities, following provinces and cities such as Beijing, Shanghai, Jiangsu, Nanjing, Xiamen, Jinan, Shenyang, Shijiazhuang, and Hangzhou, some cities have passed National People's Congress legislation to establish local adult oath days or Adult Day has taken a solid step towards the legalization of educational activities for the 18-year-old coming-of-age ceremony.
At present, 18-year-old adult ceremony education activities are not only widely popularized in large and medium-sized cities across the country, but also gradually carried out in many small and medium-sized cities. In carrying out activities, local league organizations carefully organized and fully mobilized to form characteristics. In carrying out civic awareness education, the Youth League organization takes advantage of the opportunity for young people to receive their resident ID cards when they reach the age of 18, and conducts civic education classes, legal classes, etc., so that students can master the relevant knowledge of the Constitution and laws, and understand the rights that citizens should have. and obligations. During the adult preparatory period of volunteer service, young people can not only gain an in-depth understanding of society, enrich extracurricular life, discover and overcome their own weaknesses, and improve their ability to adapt to society, but they can also directly apply the knowledge they have learned in various services and improve their abilities. The ability to solve practical problems cultivates students' sense of social responsibility and dedication. The adult oath-taking ceremony is a ceremony in which young people aged 18 and over who have received citizenship education and completed 48 hours of volunteer service take an oath in front of the national flag. The three links are organically linked to form a relatively complete education process. Through civic awareness education and volunteer services, when they become adult citizens of the Republic and need to take on the important task of building the motherland and serving the people, they can loudly say "Please rest assured, motherland."
