Results. Human will be able to perform their individual purpose as a personality, cultural purpose, economic purpose. To implement these purposes of the education sector should be not only academic, but creative process. Art and creation needs to be on the same stage with the traditional disciplines at educational institutions.

Training will be more motivated and organic. It facilitates the acquisition by a person of civic responsibility, involvement in community activities and strengthens community for the common good.
