Abstract. In modern higher education, social project activities occupy an important place in the process of implementing the pedagogical approach of “teaching by service” at the university. The purpose of the study is to analyse the content of socially oriented projects and determine their role in shaping the pedagogical approach of “teaching by service”. The research is based on a project-based methodological approach, which, according to E. F. Zeer, considers design as a component of the content of education and as the basis of educational and professional activities of students. The research was based on the department of project and grant initiatives and scientific activities of Ryazan State University named after S. A. Yesenin, which acted as the organizer of two projects presented in the article: the project “Career Guidance Forum for youth with disabilities “Landmark” and “Intellectual and educational training “I invent”. The analysis of the content of the projects showed that under the guidance of experienced mentors, students who participated in the implementation of projects gained skills in interacting with various groups of students, assisted in the professional orientation of children, gained experience in pedagogical interaction with high school students.
