Types of cultural events and their features. Types of mass events. Rules of conduct for those present

A mass event is a gathering of people planned in advance and determined by place, time, number of participants and reasons, which has the character of a holiday, cultural or promotional event, or business meeting.

Depending on the goals and objectives, mass events can be divided into the following types:

1. Cultural, sports and entertainment: concerts, sports competitions, festive performances.

3. Business meetings and receptions of business partners (meetings of shareholders, as well as other meetings and receptions held in the form of a buffet, buffet or cocktail).

4. Other mass events: these include weddings, banquets and meetings on the occasion of various anniversaries, celebrations.

Organization of an exhibition exposition of several dozen firms with samples of their products and advertising of their services;

Carrying out a presentation of companies during the fair, which consists in presenting a company or its new product;

Short speeches by the heads of firms and their leading specialists, in which the guests of the exhibition or presentation are offered the results and plans for the activities of the company and its products;

Carrying out the sale of fair samples and a certain number of products and products of the company;

Supplementing the business part of the fair and the presentation with an entertainment program, concert performances and treats for guests.

Business meetings, as a rule, are organized outside the office of the institution and the company [Holding a business meeting in an administrative building or in the office of a company is associated with a whole range of inconveniences. First of all, this is the unsuitability of the premises, its small area, official furnishings, the inconvenience of preparing and delivering meals and snacks.].

Business people can meet their partners in a restaurant for a business lunch, and a company can organize a business reception in the form of a buffet, buffet or cocktail.

The buffet is sometimes referred to as the buffet table. In the room where the reception takes place, a long table is placed. There are plates, cutlery and napkins on the table. All snacks and various treats are along the table. The guest, coming up to the table, puts a plate with cutlery on his hand. After that, moving along the table, he puts a little bit of everything from snacks and other dishes. Then the guest with his plate goes to his table.

An invitee can come to the buffet table twice. It is not customary to approach the buffet table for the third time. If a man and a woman came to a business reception held in the form of a buffet, then the man brings all the snacks first for his companion, and then for himself. Table payment is usually made by the host.



A business meeting or a business buffet reception lasts approximately two hours. The invitation always indicates the time of reception. Invited to a business reception-buffet can come at any time, but he must leave no later than the end of the reception specified in the invitation.

The organizers of the event, as well as the person in whose honor the business meeting (reception) is arranged, are always among the invited guests. All guests eat standing up. Cutlery is not served during the buffet reception. If plates are served, then large ones so that the guest can put his glass and the proposed snacks on such a plate. Snacks can be pinned on small hairpins. The portions are very small, they are taken by hand. Drinks and treats are served by waiters who walk around the hall with trays.

A business reception-cocktail is somewhat similar to a buffet. Cocktail is arranged in the afternoon, between 17 and 18 hours. The cocktail lasts about two hours. Guests are greeted by the host of the evening, welcoming those who came to the reception. It is possible to arrive for a cocktail later than the deadline indicated in the invitation, but you must leave no later than the time that is defined as the deadline for the reception.

On tables covered with tablecloths, wine glasses, glasses, glasses are set in groups. By the beginning of the reception, simple cocktails should be prepared. Drinks in tall dishes are placed in the center of the table, in low ones - at the edges of the table. Drinks should be enough for the whole evening. Refreshments are offered for drinks - cookies, nuts, cheese, diced cucumbers, small pies, small sandwiches. All food must be taken by hand. At the cocktail party, everyone communicates while standing.



The main purpose of business receptions is meetings, conversations, communication with different people. Guests, as a rule, do not sit at tables, even if there are chairs, move freely around the hall and have ample opportunity to communicate with all those invited. All this in a certain way affects the specifics of the protection of such events.

When guarding business receptions and meetings, the probability of passing without invitation cards is minimal. Meeting the host of the evening with his guests reduces this possibility to almost zero. To prevent conflicts, the invited party must discuss with their guests the issue of the presence of bodyguards of invited persons in the hall. If this does not significantly affect the number of guests, then the bodyguard may be with his client in the hall. If only persons well known to each other are present at the reception, then it makes sense to strengthen the external security of the building or premises with the help of bodyguards of invited persons.

Control over the behavior of persons at a business reception or meeting is significantly difficult. Guests do not sit still, but constantly move around the hall, approaching each other or to the table with drinks and refreshments. This imposes certain difficulties on the work of the security (security) staff of the host, since it is they who have to control the safety of drinks and treats, identify foreign objects in the hall, fix invitees who unexpectedly leave a reception or meeting, prevent minor conflicts that are ready to arise between tipsy guests.

1. Control of visitors to the fair, presentation, sale at the entrance by visual observation of incoming persons and checking their entrance tickets, as well as by selective verification of documents.

2. Suppression of the facts of violation of public order in the adjacent territory and at the venue of advertising and commercial events.

3. Prevention of targeted damage to exhibition stands, exhibits on them, as well as existing layouts, company advertising.

4. Prevention of theft of exhibition samples of products and goods prepared by participating firms for sale.

5. Suppression of provocative and defamatory statements of various persons during the speeches of the heads of firms and their leading specialists at the presentation.

6. Protection of clothes, belongings and vehicles of participants, guests and visitors of an advertising and commercial event.

7. Prevention and suppression of the facts of extortion during the fair and sale.

8. Carrying out measures against listening to the conversations of participants and guests in the premises and by telephone.

9. Prevention of theft or copying of technical documentation from firms participating in the fair or presentation.

An important feature of this mass event is that it is expedient to solve some of these security tasks in cooperation with the security officers of those companies that participate in the advertising and commercial event.

Security for business meetings and receptions

1. Meeting with the chef of guests arriving for a business reception or meeting.

2. Coordination of the actions of the main guards and bodyguards of invited persons. The choice of the scheme according to which the bodyguards of the guests will be used (either the bodyguard is next to the guarded during the reception, or joins the main guard of this event before it ends) events, perhaps even at the stage of distribution of invitations.].

3. Protection of clothes, belongings of guests and their cars in the adjacent territory.

4. Prevention of incidents between guests at a business reception or meeting.

5. Monitoring the status of drinks, snacks and other treats prepared for guests, identifying participants in the event who stay longer than usual near the table, behave unusually.

6. Fixation and observation of persons:

a) those who come to a business reception or meeting with bundles, with briefcases, with packages;

6) bringing audio or video equipment to the event;

c) who come to a business reception or meeting for a short time or leave the event unexpectedly.

7. Identification of objects in the reception hall and adjacent premises that may be a source of danger for people present at the event.

8. Holding events against listening to the conversations of the organizers of the event and guests in the premises and on the phone.

The list of security tasks in relation to various public events is not exhaustive. It can be significantly expanded and specified depending on the features of the object, the nature of the event and the specific conditions for its implementation.

Among the common tasks that are solved during the conduct of all the above mass events are:

Familiarization with the object of protection, its preliminary and main cleaning before the start of the event;

Establishing contact with the police and an agreement on interaction and support, if necessary, on the transfer of offenders to the police;

Prevention of carrying weapons, explosives, combustible substances and poisonous substances, drugs, heavy objects and stones to the protected object;

Prevention of the passage to the protected area or to the protected premises of persons with dogs;

Control and maintenance of order in the adjacent territory and in adjacent premises (for example, controlling the actions of persons in a neighboring banquet hall).

One and a half to two hours before the start of the event, employees of a security company (or security service) arrive at the facility to clean it up. In some cases, the cleaning of the object can be carried out in advance (for example, a day before the start of the event), but in this case, after the cleaning is completed, the guards must remain at the object. In the process of cleaning the object, they are first of all looking for:

explosive devices;

Explosive, flammable substances and liquids;

Chemical poisonous substances, strongly smelling substances and liquids;

Various kinds of materials and items that can compromise the company in front of the guests;

Unauthorized persons hiding at the facility.

Places where all of the above can be found are:

Wells, pits and other recesses located in the ground, on the floor;

Niches, recesses and various voids in the walls;

Furnishings, furniture, rubbish bins, various boxes, electrical network shields;

Vehicles located in the protected area;

Items of clothing hanging in full view of all those present;

Gifts received by the organizers before the start of the event.

The cleaning of the object may be associated with the use of various search instruments and dogs.

In conclusion, the alignment of security forces is made before the start of work, the coherence of actions is checked by giving simple introductory tasks.

The success and effectiveness of security actions largely depends on the quality of preparation for the event. So, the lack of special means for the guards can lead to the impossibility of solving the tasks at stake, to injuries to personnel. Lack of thought in providing a reserve can also affect the ability to quickly respond to the emerging situation. For example, when the car of one of the guests who was present at a banquet in a cafe was stolen, the security, due to the lack of a reserve, could not organize the pursuit of the hijackers, since all the guards were involved in resolving the conflict between the guests and strangers who broke into the banquet hall.

The most important preventive measure designed to ensure a conflict-free course of a mass event is the provision of access control. Before the start of the event, it is advisable to weed out both those who do not have invitation and entrance tickets, and those who came to the event in a state of intoxication or with a dog. Particular attention should be paid to those persons who are trying to carry with them various objects and substances that could be a source of danger to those present at the mass event. In this regard, the guards should pay close attention to persons with briefcases and bulky (capacious) bags, to those who are dressed in such outerwear, under which you can hide weapons, explosives and flammable substances and everything that can be used to cause harm health of people or disruption of the event.

As part of the provision of access control, special attention should be paid to food, various items and gifts coming from outside. Neglect of this work can lead to the fact that the event can be overshadowed, for example, by the explosion of an electric razor presented to the hero of the day or the poisoning of several guests at a wedding.

Cars entering and leaving the protected area should be subjected to special inspection, at least visually. This is especially important in order to prevent strangers from entering a protected object, for example, in the trunk of a car, which the car owner leaves open. Control of the passenger compartment and trunk of exiting vehicles can prevent the kidnapping of persons who have arrived at a mass event, for example, with the aim of extorting from its organizers. In this regard, it makes sense to organize a temporary guarded parking for guests' cars outside the protected area before the start of the event.

During the event, the security personnel of the enterprise or the security service must accurately fulfill their duties specified at the preparation stage. They must promptly respond to the emerging situation, prevent and suppress emerging conflicts. The correct measure is to take control of the most restless and aggressive groups of participants, escort them around the facility, and, if necessary, isolate the initiators from the rest of the group until the end of the event.

Security guards should be specially instructed regarding the content of security measures at the end of a concert, wedding, banquet, election meeting, holiday, etc. Professionals are well aware that the sharpness and intensity of work at the end of a mass event is no less than at its beginning. At this stage, there is a high risk of crushing in the aisles when guests and spectators leave the hall, etc. There may be cases of tangling or theft of outerwear in the wardrobe, which also leads to conflicts. It is during this period that interested parties try to organize a panic among the participants, spread rumors that will turn an organized event into an unorganized crowd (for example, a rumor about a fire). All this requires special attention, vigilance and the correct reaction to the current situation from the guards.

Along with the search for dangerous devices, objects, liquids and materials, the guards search for persons who could remain in the premises or on the territory after the end of the event. These can be both intruders who, having remained at the facility, plan to commit a crime on it after the guards leave, as well as persons injured during the event and in need of assistance.

Close attention should be paid to items and things that guests may forget. For everything discovered during the final sweep, an inventory should be drawn up in two copies. Everything found is subject to transfer to the client or the administration of the protected object along with one copy of the inventory. The second copy of the inventory of objects, things and documents found during the cleaning, with the mark of the person who accepted the things, is stored in the security company or the company's security service.

Modern mass events are an expression of social activity, a way for the population to organize their leisure time, satisfy spiritual and cultural needs, participate in social processes and political life, and engage in sports and art. In people's lives there are a large number of all kinds of mass events: from wedding ceremonies to street processions, from theatrical performances to widespread folk festivals. A separate mass event, at times, can amaze with its scale and scope.

Classification of mass events

Mass events can be classified as follows:

According to goals and objectives:

  • cultural;
  • sports;
  • spectacular;
  • advertising and commercial: trade fairs, presentations, sales;
  • business receptions and meetings: meetings, receptions, receptions, etc.;
  • spiritual: prayers, processions and others.

  • seasonal;
  • periodic;
  • one-time.

  • the second category (without VIP participation).

Organization and preparation of a mass event

Organization of mass events is a complex and responsible task. Organizational skills alone will obviously not be enough. It will require versatile knowledge, sufficient experience, well-developed intuition and foresight, as well as a considerable amount of money, depending on the grandiosity of the plan.

When organizing any event, you should know and remember that “at the forefront” is always the law. To prevent the planned mass event from turning into a natural disaster, you need to follow the letter of the law, strictly comply with all current requirements enshrined in law, and follow certain rules and recommendations.

A gathering of people is like a stream of water - under normal conditions it flows along the channel, but when the elements are rampant, it is able to "overflow", sweeping away and destroying everything in its path. People are emotional, they are able to panic, fear of something will not leave a person in a serene state.

Therefore, when organizing mass events, you need to be able to foresee a lot, first of all, to ensure the safety of all participants. And then think about how to make their pastime as comfortable as possible. And only the last thing to do is to calculate your planned profit (if the event is commercial in nature).

Holding mass events can bring great profits if properly organized and prepared, but can also cause serious financial damage if mistakes are made during the preparatory phase.

The legislative framework

The organization of mass events is regulated by the current Federal Law and other regulatory legal acts of the federal and regional levels. Laws governing the organization and conduct of events (mass): the main law is 54-FZ (19.06.2004) in the latest edition,

Venue selection

A mass event can be held in any area suitable for this purpose. The most popular places for mass events:

  • premises;
  • structures;
  • streets;
  • area;
  • sports arenas;
  • parks;
  • squares;
  • suburban areas and more.

In a nutshell, anywhere. With a single "if". If it is not prohibited by law and does not create a security risk.

Legislative restrictions on the choice of venue

There are certain places where events are initially prohibited. It even makes no sense to coordinate this issue with representatives of the territorial administration, since the fact of their resolution will be a gross violation of official duties, and, consequently, a violation of the law. This entails an inevitable punishment - from "put in a corner" to "put on a bunk." So, under the prohibition of the territory located near:

  • hazardous production facilities and other facilities with increased safety requirements;
  • overpasses;
  • oil pipelines;
  • gas pipelines;
  • power lines, high-voltage stations;
  • television and radio towers;
  • military units;
  • correctional and other institutions;
  • playgrounds.

As well as a number of other territories specified in the Federal Law.

Public events

There is a concept of "public event". described in detail in 54-FZ. It is characterized as an open, accessible and peaceful assembly (action) of people organized by a person or a group of people or a public organization, political party, religious society. The goals of such an event can be different: the implementation of the guaranteed right to freedom of speech and expression of one's attitude about something, the announcement of demands, the discussion of social issues, politics and economics, and much more. There are five main types of public events:

  • assembly, rally;
  • demonstration, procession;
  • picketing.

In the role of the organizers of this event can not be: minors and incapacitated. As well as representatives of parties and organizations banned in the Russian Federation, religious communities, etc. Mass events of this form cannot be started earlier than seven in the morning and end later than twenty-three hours (local time).

Cultural events

It is impossible to overestimate the benefits that cultural events bring. Their main purpose is the spiritual development of society. Such activities have a number of directions:

  • hedonistic, which is an entertaining character that helps to entertain people, temporarily distract from everyday problems, charge with positive and give free rein to bright emotional outbursts;
  • educational, contributing to the acquisition of new useful knowledge, broadening the horizons, and self-education of the population;
  • developing, aimed at the formation of aesthetic tastes, improvement of creative abilities;
  • educational, instilling self-organization, forming a system of spiritual values;
  • social, giving an incentive to social activity;
  • artistic and creative, introducing to the cultural and creative process.

Cultural events are festivals, reviews, competitions (regional and federal levels, as well as international ones), entertainment festive events, thematic concerts, educational programs, exhibitions, fairs and much, much more.

Sports events

Sports competitions, physical culture events are evidence that society is involved in the process of physical development and improvement, striving for new sports achievements. Mass sports events held on the territory of Russia are diverse and impress with their scale.

These are professional competitions in almost all known sports, and sports and recreation events of various levels and all kinds of directions. As they say, there would be only a wish. Opportunities and favorable conditions to engage in professional sports and physical culture - more than enough. Much attention is paid to physical development in Russia. And this is no coincidence.

The health of the nation is a paramount state task

Human health is a set of indicators of his physical, spiritual and psychological state. Physical culture is one of the components of human culture. Fairly popular expression, borrowed from Latin (Decimus Junius Juvenal), - "in a healthy body - a healthy mind."

How many countries can boast that their leader "chases the puck" on the ice or wrestles on the mat? Many leaders are able to stay on a horse? Not to mention that without a saddle. These lines are far from political and other propaganda. Usual statement of facts.

The point is something else. Running day, walking day, swimming day, gymnastics day and so on. You can enumerate and enumerate. Mass sports events for children and adults, families and the elderly, "Leather Ball", "Golden Puck" - this is just a list of the most famous and popular events that Russians love. And how many of these remain "behind the scenes"? A bunch of.

Mass runs, cross-country skiing, swims in the pool and on open water, hiking, kayaking, massive downhill skiing, you can’t list everything, even if you set a goal. This isn't an advertisement, is it? Isn't this pride in the nation (a figurative expression that should be understood as the entire multinational Russian people)?

Organization and holding of cultural events

A cultural event is a very broad concept and includes the holding of holidays, festivals, and celebrations. Art and sports, spiritual and physical culture are organically combined at mass cultural events, which makes the audience deeply empathize with the art of theater, film and stage artists, opera, ballet and circus, leads to the achievement of new heights in the artists' work and a new quality of impact on the viewer. Cultural events are multi-genre spectacles that combine the skills of a huge number of professional and amateur artists and groups: solo singers and choirs, classical ballet and folk dance groups, circus artists and musicians (both soloists and entire orchestras - small and large, consolidated and exemplary), etc.

All workers of the performing arts are the actors of the cultural event. Patriotic and comic, ritual and theatrical, epic and historical performances are created with their direct participation; bright spectacles are born in which colored costumes, pennants, flags, and other various equipment are used.

It is no coincidence that today the directors of cultural events, wherever they work - in a big city or a small village, they strive to combine theatrical and physical culture and sports facilities, as a way of a more active and more powerful artistic impact on people.

The current situation is characterized by significant difficulties in organizing cultural events. One of the most acute problems remains such problems as: 1) rational construction, placement and use of concert venues; 2) equipping musicians with musical instruments.

Along with the facts of an obvious shortage of concert venues and rehearsal rooms, there is a tendency for a clash of various interests around these objects of cultural events. The most typical conflicts in this regard are:

The struggle of various departments for the possession of premises, their reconstruction (for example, the department of culture and sports, the musical community, monument protection authorities, etc.);

The difficulty of reconciling the interests of commercial firms that reconstruct objects of mass cultural events, and those of performing arts workers who enjoy the fruits of this reconstruction, i.e. there is a loss by concert and theater objects of their appearance, stylistic unity, acoustic and aesthetic characteristics;

Complexity, underdevelopment of the concept of cultural complexes, focused on one object and combining the functions of renting concert programs, entertainment and entertainment events, providing rehearsals for music concerts, etc.

Today, the winners are those who are mobile in movement, easy to change, able to satisfy the most diverse tastes and needs. These are, as a rule, pop artists, small ensembles, all kinds of show groups. Solid teams that require large material costs for the movement and organization of a cultural event have become absolutely uncompetitive in the market conditions. Let us consider in more detail the problems that take place in the organization of labor of workers in the performing arts.

Competitions, festivals, concerts, flash mobs, conferences, tourist rallies, parades and processions contain a certain content component and, at the same time, these are mass events, during which certain requirements must be adhered to.

What is a mass event

A mass event is a gathering of a significant number of people in order to participate in any event that is in the nature of a patriotic appeal, holiday, advertising, spectacle, business meeting or leisure pastime.
The venues for mass events are different:

  • squares and parks;
  • squares and city streets;
  • public buildings;
  • theater halls;
  • concert venues;
  • Sport halls.

The organization of cultural events contributes to the realization of the needs of residents of a political, cultural, economic and religious nature.

Forms of mass events

There are various groups and forms of public events:

  • State and political: meetings of shareholders, scientific and practical conferences, congresses, parades, processions.
  • Cultural events: a citywide evening for graduates, theatrical performances, folk festivals, fairs and exhibitions, carnival processions, festival performances, concert programs, show programs.
  • Sports and entertainment: sports matches, sports days, auto racing and rallies, track and field crosses, Olympic Games.
  • Events of a religious nature: holidays, ceremonial processions.
  • Private: banquets, weddings, anniversaries.

All events can take place at the municipal, regional, national or international level. The method of occurrence of such actions is divided into two large groups:

  • Spontaneous.
  • Organized.

They can be held one-time or periodically, ensuring the participation of a limited number of people or public access.

How to hold a mass event

A number of structures are engaged in the preparation and holding of events:

  • Local self-government bodies.
  • Institutions belonging to various departments and forms of ownership.
  • Heads of institutions in whose territory it is carried out.

A mass event is a strict observance of the main conditions, procedures and requirements for its holding, maintaining the personal safety of each person present.
The holding of cultural events provides for the undeniable role of health care, motor transport and trade enterprises, consumer service institutions, information and Internet resources.

If large-scale events are being prepared, the municipal administration can form coordinating councils and headquarters to coordinate and control all participants. Such committees are responsible for developing appropriate plans, maintaining law and order, urgent evacuation of spectators and participants if there is a threat to their life and health.

What to Consider

When discussing the procedure for holding a mass event, you need to take into account the conditions for its holding:

  • Schedule of public municipal transport (all those present must be able to use public transport at the end).
  • Weather and climatic conditions.
  • Parking lots for vehicles.
  • Convenience of approach to the main place, taking into account the restriction of access to vehicles.
  • Availability of storage rooms.
  • Ability to provide primary health care.
  • The work of food outlets and the sale of soft drinks (in hot weather - refreshing, in cold weather - warming).
  • Availability of bathrooms.

Instructions for organizing and conducting

  • The councils of voluntary sports organizations and the sports committee are obliged to coordinate the conduct of the necessary examinations with the municipal administration, engineering structures, the sanitary epidemiological station, law enforcement agencies, civil defense and emergency departments. The result of the surveys should be the relevant acts.
  • The organizers ensure the process of holding the event (compliance with the rules of the fire department and the appointment of responsible persons), duly notify the municipal administration of where, when and at what time the event will be held, indicate the name, format, data on the number of participants, contact details.
  • The leaders in whose department the buildings and structures are located are obliged to ensure the reliability of the stands and other structures used, the possibility of general evacuation if there is a danger to the life and health of others.

Characteristic features of a mass event

The format of a public event determines its characteristic features. Conventionally, any public mass event can be attributed to one of the main types at the venue:

  • Closed. In this case, a narrow circle of specific invitees gather in a separate room, the access of guests is limited by invitation cards, the social level and interests of the participants are approximately the same.
  • Open. This format provides anyone with the opportunity to take part in the planned events. This significantly increases the risk of creating dangerous situations.

Most clearly, the heterogeneity of the composition of those present is manifested during sports and entertainment events:

  • Fans belong to rival sports clubs, their contingent is clearly marked.
  • Bright, fanatical addictions to their club or team are manifested in cries, slogans, chanting certain phrases.
  • The age and social composition, the level of education and culture, the value orientations of those present can vary greatly, this can lead to conflict situations.

Potential Threats

A mass event is the most affordable opportunity to meet the needs of a large group of people. At the same time, it is also a potential threat to the life and health of all participants, fans, spectators. This is due to several factors:

  • A closed space increases the risk of violation of law and order by a group of people, formed spontaneously or in an organized manner.
  • A change in the usual rhythm, the dynamics of events can provoke cases of conflicts between individual citizens or certain groups of them. This is especially facilitated by the specific formats of informal events.
  • With a significant accumulation of people, it becomes possible to commit theft, damage to property.
  • A collective gathering of a certain contingent of people (radical fans, rival parties, rock fans) can accumulate the manifestation of negative emotions.
  • Even a short-term non-standard situation can contribute to the manifestation of panic, leading to a large number of victims.
  • There is a real threat of a terrorist act as a result of the implementation of criminal or antisocial plans.

Security measures by the organizers

The organizer is primarily responsible for the safety of those present. If the security system is not formed properly, then even the brightest, spectacular, interesting and important event will lose its significance and can lead to sad consequences.

Ensuring the safety of mass events is carried out by equipping points where participants, spectators, security services, as well as fire extinguishing equipment will be accommodated.

In proper condition, it is necessary to maintain a sanitary and hygienic regime throughout the territory. For official vehicles, free access to facilities and sources of water supply should be organized in case of a fire hazard. Evacuation plans and signs of evacuation exits should be placed in central places.

Ensuring security by law enforcement officers

Public events provide for the observance of public safety, which is carried out by law enforcement agencies. What exactly should they pay attention to?

  • Employees of the internal affairs bodies are obliged to prevent citizens in a state of narcotic, toxic or alcoholic intoxication.
  • Particular attention should be paid to persons wishing to carry any type of weapon with them.
  • If the occupancy rate of the premises becomes the maximum permissible, then law enforcement officers must present a demand to the organizers to stop the admission of visitors (spectators, fans) to the territory where the event will be held.
  • If a perceived threat appears, all those present must be evacuated from the auditorium, from the stands.
  • In the process of suppressing violations of law and order, it is necessary to exclude the possibility of panic.

Rules of conduct for those present

The rules of conduct during sports and entertainment and cultural events are determined by standard rules and prohibit:

  1. Bring weapons, explosives, drugs, alcoholic beverages, large bags with you.
  2. Run out onto the field or stage, be in the aisles or on the stairs.
  3. Violate order: drink alcohol, insult and humiliate those present, show signs of extremism.

A mass event is that unique situation when a person can feel himself in a circle of like-minded people, be involved in important state, religious or other events, spend his leisure time with interest and benefit.

Any event has a form and content. And, of course, every event has a name. If you make a list of events that are held today, you get a list of several hundred items. But a careful study of this list reveals that, with all the variety of names, most of the events are based on the same forms. Events of various forms often contain the same content. For example, the "auction of historical knowledge" and "auction of geographical knowledge" are the same form filled with different content. And "environmental erudite" and "ecological landing" are two completely different forms with similar content.

Indeed, for the successful holding of events, you only need to know the existing forms and be able to fill these forms with the necessary content each time;

All events are organized according to one technology, according to one algorithm (a certain sequence of actions), which varies depending on the form of the event.

Stages of organizing an event.

1. Preliminary work of the organizer.

Preliminary work begins with the collection of information necessary for planning in the future. This is the clarification of financial issues, organizational, the formation of an organizational group, the preparation of the necessary documents.

2. Collective planning.

An action plan is being written. It includes the distribution of responsibilities in the team. It is impossible to make a good event alone. Proper distribution of responsibilities will help not only the organizers in holding the event, but will also provide an opportunity to work out all areas of activity more carefully.

3. Collective preparation.

Elaboration by directions includes an analysis of all possible needs and risks. It is important to take into account all the circumstances of the organization of your direction. It is also important to coordinate your actions with other areas in order to take into account all the changes that may occur in the process of work.

4. Holding an event.

For the event, you need to recruit as many people as you need. You should not "save" on those responsible for lighting design, on people who know how to competently work with the projector, on stage workers, on duty in the hall and on many other people who will help you make the event top marks.

5. Summing up (analysis of the case).

This item is necessary not only for the head of the event, but for all participants. Summing up can be carried out in various forms. For example, it could be a discussion or a survey. The form of analysis of the event is chosen by the manager at his discretion, and depending on what results he needs to get. So, for example, when questioning, you can find out those questions that not all participants can openly answer. You can also combine different forms to get more information about the past event.

Here is a list of standard questions that can be included in a survey.

 What did you like?

 What worked especially well?

 What could have been done better?

 What to consider next time?

 What did not work and why?

 What do we propose for the future?

Event Forms

The Kostroma Pedagogical School proposes, as a basis for the typology, the methods of movement of participants. In this case, there are three main types of forms: static, static-dynamic, dynamic-static. Examples static forms(performances) are a line, a rally, a KVN, a concert, a performance, a lecture, a frontal conversation (including a meeting, a planning meeting, a team meeting), watching a movie, video, TV movie. Let us briefly characterize these forms.

1. Ruler - a ritual performance involving the construction of participants on any site. Line up is of secondary importance. The functions of the subjects of interaction are as follows: the leader of the line (is in the center of attention), speakers (with monologues or short performances come to the center of attention), spectators, performers of ritual actions. The content of the interaction is the formation of an emotional-value attitude to something and the receipt of any information. It is important to note that the origin of the line is associated with the formation of troops.

2. A rally is a performance that involves the demonstration of certain views, positions in the form of monologue speeches by individual speakers.

3. Performance - a performance involving a demonstration by the performers for the audience of a holistic theatrical action.

Varieties of the performance are an oral magazine (newspaper), performance of the propaganda team. This is the presentation of any information (actual problems) in an artistic form. The performance involves the implementation by the participants of such functions as actors (speakers) and spectators. In the theatrical scenario - the play, the development of the plot is laid down: the plot, the ascent, the climax, the denouement. Therefore, the organizer should take into account the emotionally meaningful algorithm laid down by the play.

4. Concert - a performance involving a demonstration of artistic performances by the performers for the audience (dances, songs, theatrical miniatures, etc.).

5. Lecture - a presentation that involves the presentation in the form of a monologue of a set of views on any subject.

6. Frontal conversation (including "Meeting with an interesting person", "Eagle Light") - a specially organized dialogue during which the leader leads the exchange of views on any issue (problem). Frontal conversation can be organized using the game. For example, lesson (“Creativity Lesson”, “Fantasy Lesson”, etc.) imitates a school lesson, where the leader plays the role of a teacher, the rest of the participants are students; the rules of such a game correspond to the rules of a regular school lesson.

7. Dispute - a specially organized presentation, involving a demonstrative clash of opinions on any issue (problem).

8. Discussion (including a meeting, planning meeting, team meeting) - a specially organized exchange of views on any issue, problem in order to obtain an information product in the form of a solution.

9. Watching a movie, video, TV movie, performance - a performance during which the participants are shown a spectacle prepared by professionals. In this form, there is only one function of the subjects of interaction - the viewer.

10. Performance-competition (competition) - a performance that involves demonstrating to the audience a competition between participants in something. Varieties: competitive program on the stage, sports games on the site. This form is quite popular (KVN, knightly tournament). Sports games can be both traditional and playful.

All these forms are united by the fact that the organization of space in them implies a pronounced center of attention (stage, tribune, sports ground, etc.), the nature of the actions of the participants is determined by their functions as speakers or spectators, even if these functions are exchanged during the action.

The second type of form static-dynamic. This type includes a fair, a subbotnik, making an exhibition, newspapers, preparing for a presentation in a circle, a situational role-playing game, an evening of communication in an impromptu cafe, and a productive game.

A characteristic feature of this type of form is that there is no single focus here. The centers of attention are scattered around the site, and each participant can choose them according to their taste, or the center of attention moves according to the algorithm of this form.

11. Fair (folk festival) - a joint entertainment deployed on a specific site, involving the involvement of participants in various attractions.

The fair has:

 Free movement of participants throughout the space where the rides are located. Engagement in attractions is usually provided in the traditional way: tokens are issued for participation, which can be exchanged for something tasty or healthy. A whole economic game can also be unfolded. You can spend your tokens, getting word cards for them. The one who can collect a whole phrase or several phrases from the received words becomes the winner and receives a special prize.

 An attraction is a specific competition that does not require special skills and a long time to complete the task.

 The fair begins with a general meeting, where the rules of the game are explained, prizes that await the participant who has collected the most tokens can be named.

 The final of the fair can be held in the form of an auction - a sale, where participants buy memorable prizes and souvenirs for the remaining tokens.

Fair includes:

 General collection, which may be accompanied by a line, a carnival procession;

 Free movement of participants on the site;

 Free choice of attraction and participation in it;

 Final collection, with and without auction.

12. Subbotnik (labor action) - limited in place and time, specially organized subject-practical labor activity of people.

13. Production of an exhibition (newspapers, books, chronicles, etc.) is a specially organized activity for the creation of exhibits or an information product for subsequent demonstration.

14. Preparation for the presentation - a specially organized joint activity for inventing, developing and implementing the idea of ​​​​a presentation. Each stage can be singled out as a separate form of work.

15. Performance in a circle - a ritual entertainment that unfolds around an object (Christmas tree, fire, etc.), involving the movement of participants in a circle.

16. A situational role-playing game is a specially organized competition in solving interaction problems and in simulating the substantive actions of participants performing strictly specified roles in a fictional situation, regulated by the rules of the game.

17. An evening of communication in an impromptu cafe - entertainment specially organized on one site that imitates a feast. Varieties: "party", "gatherings", "salon", "club", "reception", "assembly".

18. Productive (innovative) game - a joint activity to create an information product that involves the exchange of views. Including their specially organized collision, demonstration of intermediate results. As a rule, the productive game algorithm includes the following procedures: general gathering-start (statement of the problem, explanation of the rules), work in groups, general gathering-finish (summing up).

19. Dance program - disco with competitions, prizes.

All forms of events listed above have long and firmly established themselves in our work. And all of us at least once held or participated in such events.

Invite young people to work, create initiative groups, combine various forms, experiment with the content of your events. Let them be unique and bright!
