The problem of non-formal education is extremely relevant in pedagogical science and practical work of the universities in the Russian Federation. The potential of such education provides opportunities for a pedagogical university to form students' universal and professional competences in various forms of education and upbringing. The article presents an analysis of foreign and domestic literature on the problem of non-formal education. On the basis of scientific work and educational practice, the work in this field is organized at the Surgut State Pedagogical University. The survey of student teachers made it possible to identify their need for the development of critical thinking, emotional intelligence, creativity, and communication skills. Students offered such forms of non-formal education as master classes, trainings, business games, round tables. These forms are presented in the description of two major projects of the Faculty of Psychology and Pedagogy. The purpose of the article is to describe this innovative pedagogical experience. The first project "Teach me how ...", developed and implemented by the members of the student council "Drive", included master classes for students interested in this topic at the university. The second project "Academy" Your Skills "of the pedagogical team "Klyukva" was aimed at designing a career guidance environment for the development of flexible supra-professional competences among students. The novelty of the project "Teach me how ..." in the "student-to-student" format consists in organizing a whole series of master classes presented in the system at the request of university students. Bachelors acquired such universal competences as the ability to communicate, work in a team, and be creative in specific activities. In 2021, this project won public recognition (1st degree diploma in the District competition "Student of the Year of Ugra – 2021" in the nomination "Volunteer Association of the Year", Khanty-Mansiysk and the International competition of student social projects on inclusive and special (defectological) education "My social initiative”, Kazakhstan, Petropavlovsk). The project “Academy“ Your Skills” was aimed at mastering the“ flexible skills ”of the 21st century: critical thinking, emotional intelligence, creativity, etc. The students defending this project took 1st place in the All-Russian competition of student programs, projects and education practices in general educational organizations "Leaders to school" (April 2021, St. Petersburg). The practical significance of the materials of the article lies in the fact that the methodological tools of non-formal education, in particular, fragments of abstracts of specific master classes, can be used by other pedagogical universities in the process of developing the universal and professional competences of future teachers.

The possibility of use of a designing method in education is considered in the article, types of social projects are presented, the experience of realization of social projects by students is considered.
