The purpose of the work is to study the peculiarities of the organization of practical activities for managers of socio-cultural activities in the development of mobile applications for the formation of their communicative tolerance. Scientific novelty: the potential of mobile applications with socio-cultural content for training in-demand specialists of the digital society is substantiated. Theoretical significance – the identified opportunities and characteristics of information interaction in the design of mobile applications are clarified in relation to the training of managers of socio-cultural activities for the formation of their communicative tolerance. The creation of mobile applications was implemented in classes on the discipline "Innovative experience of professional activity in the field of culture". To develop mobile applications, specialists use the tools of the MIT App Inventor environment. The test by V. V.
