Abstract
The purpose of the study is to show that initiation during the event-socializing process is a great way for children to change themselves and their perception of the main important things for them. It shows great importance of the event-socializing process for children as a tool for their self-development and self-initiation in society. Research is conducted with the help of sentence completion test, which was used to observe the group of children, who participated in the All-Russian New Year’s Eve event comparison. All the participants were of different ages. At the event-socializing process all of the children were in one group. During that period teachers made some observations that were shown in the research results sections, from where we could learn that children could have a great chance for changing their perception positively. However, some of the children who participated in the research did not have any changes, because they decided not to be involved in the event-socializing process, and they did not want to communicate with their peers. The research helps teachers and people, who initiate such processes, understand that the event-socializing process is the best way for children to socialize, when they have an opportunity to change their own perception.
