The cross-cutting content lines are analyzed: «Health and Safety», «Environmental Safety and Sustainable Development», «Civic Responsibility» and «Entrepreneurship and Financial Literacy», which are socially significant over-subject topics that help to form students' understanding of society as a whole. The cross-cutting content area «Health and Safety», which develops the ability to apply the acquired knowledge in different situations, is studied. The aspects of the formation of a student as a socially, spiritually, emotionally and physically full-fledged member of society are outlined. Attention is focused on the social aspect of health: formation of communication skills, lifestyle, inclusiveness; emotional aspect: positive attitude, stress resistance, emotional well-being; spiritual aspect: inner harmony, moral values, the ability to self-realization, personality formation; physical aspect: the ability to maintain a healthy lifestyle, to help in the formation of a safe and healthy living environment. It is stated that extracurricular institutions deal with a variety of activities – from art studios to sports sections, and in today's conditions, extracurricular education is an individual approach and is a zone of psychological comfort. The article considers various aspects of the activities of out-of-school institutions in the implementation of health-saving technologies to form a student's value attitude to health. A value-based attitude to health can be developed through the formation of motivation for health promotion. UNESCO research emphasizes that the motivation and emotional state of students directly affect their educational achievements. The study made it possible to determine the prospects for the introduction of health-saving technologies as a tool for qualitative changes in the system of extracurricular education.
