Only energetic, socially active, competitive specialists will be able to ensure sustainable economic and political development of modern society, since the current reality requires society to find the most successful options for achieving its goals. According to E.S. Sokolova, the Concept for the Modernization of Russian Education for the period up to 2010 implies that a developing society needs modernly educated, moral, enterprising people who can independently make responsible decisions in a situation of choice, predicting their possible consequences, ways to cooperate, are distinguished by mobility, dynamism, constructiveness, have a developed sense of responsibility for the fate of the country. According to this opinion, the upbringing of active professionals by society, who will find themselves in various socially significant activities, is of great importance. Based on the foregoing, it can be assumed that modern youth has the most significant role in the transformation of society. It is she who has all the opportunities to significantly change the life of society for the better. One of the main means of increasing the social activity of young people is project activity, as it develops in a young person such qualities as a creative approach to the implementation of any type of activity, management skills, strategy, independence, etc. It is to the development of project activities that the Government of the Russian Federation pays great attention by holding various gatherings, conferences, competitions, forums.
