Sociality, and especially sociocultural activities in the community are very important when experiencing the value and meaning of the person’s life, developing such qualities as friendship, spirituality, mutual understanding, responsibility and self-help, preserving traditions and national culture, feeling secure and satisfied. The aim of this thesis is to discuss senior pupils’ participation peciliarities in useful social activities considering territorial community. Pupils’ useful social activities in the territorial community is one of the innovations which appeared when implementing education reform. Social (useful for the society) activities are the civil, ecological and other activities offered or chosen by the pupils themselves and performed at a suitable time. The aim of these activities is to develop pupils’ understanding of values, personal, social, communication and work skills, which are called general personal skills in the General Syllabus. The research has shown that school’s openness to the local community’s social, cultural and civil needs establishing partnership with various institutions determines the peculiarities of the useful social activities. It was also observed that pupils, who live in the city, have greater possibilities to choose useful social activities than the ones who live in the region. However, region school pupils have taken more active part in useful social activities in the recent years than the city pupils.
