The article presents the practical experience of organization of educational process of training students in the field of Socio-cultural activities; shows the results of all ongoing faculty work and indicated a demand for graduates of the direction of Socio-cultural activities.

The article considers the problem of implementing a holistic approach in the organization of the educational process in the University culture for students in the areas of training Socio-cultural activities; describes issues related to the integrity of the pedagogical process and formation of the whole person of the student subject to the requirements of employers and society.

The use of immersive technologies as a means of visualizing educational information is the current direction of the modern educational system modernization. The use of 3D–modeling elements in the training of in-demand specialists of the socio-cultural sphere corresponds to the recommendations of UNESCO, the directions of the value-oriented model of government cultural policy. The authors examine the issue of assessing the impact of the use of three-dimensional imaging in training organizers of socio-cultural activities on the quality of their training. The purpose of the study is to define the characteristics of three-dimensional computer graphics use in the training of specialists in the socio-cultural sphere. The methodology is based on the analysis of three-dimensional graphics potential to support international and government educational programs, on the specification of methods of working with a 3D–editor for the areas of training “Methodology and organization of socio-cultural activities. Teaching special disciplines". At different stages of work, the following tools of 3D–graphics, 3D–editors were used: 3DS Max, Maya, LightWave 3D, SoftImage XSI, Rhinoceros 3D, Zbrush, Blender, Wings 3D, Adobe Photoshop, Paint 3D. The results describe the ideas of a methodological approach reflecting the necessary requirements for the use of three-dimensional computer graphics in the training of highly qualified specialists in the social and cultural sphere, taking into account the areas of training "Methodology and organization of social and cultural activities. Teaching special disciplines. " The authors come to conclusion about the positive (tools for activating cognition, feedback; visualization of theoretical information; a variety of ways to present information about leisure activities; reconstruction and 3D–modeling of values, etc.) and negative (rapid overstrain, eye discomfort, vertigo) aspects of the impact of 3D–graphics use in training organizers of social and cultural activities on the quality of their training. The difficulties of the proposed innovations are also formulated: the high cost of 3D–equipment; dependence on paid software; technical failures in cultural institutions; commercialization of the project. The obtained results can be used for the organization of socio-cultural activities of students; the development of applied cultural studies.
