Abstract

The article is dedicated to an urgent problem of forming leisure activities for youth. Useful, constructive leisure not only forms a personality, develops its spiritual sphere, but also contributes to the upbringing of an active life position, creative development, and civic formation. Among the attractive projects in the aspect of the development of youth leisure activity, the creation of complex-type entities, such as socio-cultural clusters, can be especially noted. Such complexes play a significant role in the socio-cultural environment of rural territories, in a special way structuring this environment, offering new forms and technologies of cultural and leisure activities in working with youth. The authors investigate the conditions and possibilities of the rural socio-cultural cluster and substantiate its role in activating the leisure activities of youth. Problems are identified and ways to improve the activities of rural sociocultural cluster entities in working with youth of a specific rural area are identified.
