The aim of the article is to track the dynamics of the development of citizens’ social competencies in the context of specially organized socio-cultural activities. The method of V.V. Sinyavskyi and B.A. Fedoryshyn was used to determine the development of communicative and organizational abilities, as well as the method of N. Hall to study emotional intelligence (EI). It was found that, in general, medium indicators of social competencies are characteristic of the studied citizens. The developed programme of socio-cultural influence showed effectiveness in the dynamics of communicative abilities. However, the changes turned out to be more significant in the students’ sample. The indicators of organizational abilities as a result of the formative experiment remained unchanged. El significantly changed in the group of working citizens after completing the programme, while the indicators remained stable among students. The results indicate the partial effectiveness of the programme of socio-cultural activities in the development of social competencies of the citizens of Ukraine. The obtained data make it possible to optimize the strategy of educational influence in the student environment with a focus on the cultural integration of the individual. The data can also be used to develop communication trainings for specialists of certain organizations. Research prospects are to clarify gender differences in the influence of socio-cultural activities on the development of citizens’ social competencies.
