CONCLUSIONS, INNOVATIONS, AND RECOMMENDATIONS: Theoretical research in the abovementioned area can draw the educators’ attention to the harmonious passion seen in a multidimensional perspective, reflected in the educational activity, what needs revising and updating educational programs that stimulate the actualization of creative potential of educational entities. This can be used to get to know oneself, others and the world more deeply on the path of autonomous self-becoming.
