Formation of regional identity of teenagers and young people is regarded as one of the conditions of de-veloping territories of the Russian Federation. The article explains the role of local history as a resource for the formation of civic identity; it analyzes the structural components of regional identity: cognitive, emotion-al and evaluative (axiological), and behavioral. The authors discuss possibilities of additional educational programmes "Literature of the Vyatka region", "History of the Vyatka region", "The nature of the Vyatka re-gion", "The Art of the Vyatka region". The modified questionnaire is offered to determine the level of for-mation of students’ regional identity.
