The colleague fromBelarusoffers the authorial variant of meta-disciplinary module "Pedagogical Projecting", targeted on the creation of conditions for forming up the experience in authorial pedagogical systems on the systematic inter-disciplinary and trans-disciplinary basis.
The problems and possible variants of succession in education are shown on the examples of teaching foreign languages writing to the students of a high school, and also in the context of labor education in a modern rural school. In the context of "learning throughout life" the work of Open University of Petrozavodsk State University as an open structure of informal education for the population of any age integrated in a classic system of formal higher education has been analyzed.
