It is very important to notice that the problem of new educational technologies is actual because of increasing social problems in the modern society. In particular, the problem of social cohesion and its educational background is very painful worldwide. The society meets new and unprecedented challenge of responding to its own staggering complexity. The structure of our society needs to change. Around the world, people are creating revolutionary movement against their governments. They do not want to live under the rules of government"s dysfunction and corruption. People are trying to create a new world in which individual capabilities and the implementation is not detrimental to collective action.

In some places violence destabilize state power and social order. In others, mass dissatisfaction and frustration lead to unprecedented social movements. Unrest in rich and poor societies called deep and comprehensive frustration from a lack of something vital, for example, the food, and the stalled, sustainable economic and other expectations. Local communities as one of the most predictable and effective tools on this matter should be developed, for instance, during the program of decentralization (the core direction of reforms in Ukraine). To support this direction of reform and economy development should be change the educational dimension to enhance the social cohesion processes for better communities strengthening.

There is a very perspective approach in this direction - community based universities. One of the best practices is University of Brighton (www.brighton.ac.uk). From small beginnings in 1850s Brighton, the University of Brighton has grown to a complex and diverse institution based in three towns across the south coast of England. The ethos of this University is defined by four core values: inclusivity; sustainability; creativity; partnership. These core

values help to keep the students to be a part of a dynamic, diverse and creative community that embraces partnership working and that makes a positive difference to society. Important to notice, that all these values are seemed to be very perspective not only to educational but societal development.

Transversal competences and educational technologies

Thus, it leads to the problem of proper changes and innovations in the educational system.

Education policies and curricula aim to incorporate a broad range of skills and competencies necessary for learners to successfully navigate the changing global landscape. "Transversal competencies", sometimes referred to as "21st Century skills", are broad based skills that aim to meet these challenges, such as technological advances and intercultural communication. Education policies and curricula aim to incorporate a broad range of skills and competencies necessary for learners to successfully navigate the changing global landscape.

There is very important direction of the development of transversal competences - implementation of their forming into the educational processes. They all solve the problem of effective response to contemporary civilizational challenges of the knowledge society.

In modern conditions higher education institutions no longer dominate in the production of knowledge, but they continue to play an important role in connecting knowledge and citizenship [Delanty, 2008: 29]. Trends and challenges in integrating transversal competencies into education should be considered and applied in the educational dimension.

Nowadays the use of on-line training, stimulating has been increasing in all sectors of social activities. "From virtual reality to prepare surgeons for complex brain surgery, to airplane pilots being tested on simulators. Yet despite these advances, soft skills training like mediation, has been one of the last bastions of face-to-face only training. The reason for this of course is up until now the teaching of a process which is about human relationships always seemed impossible to deliver via technology" [South, 2017]. Now communicative cognitive technologies could be transferred into the virtual, digital sphere because of outstanding growth of its power and flexibility. However, with the trend toward on-line, interactive learning in all its forms increasing and the sophistication of the technology able to deliver many more nuanced approaches to learning. It concerns first the soft skills (facilitation, mediation, etc.) and how to transfer their art to professionals and practitioners. "We should seek to capture the spirit of mediation - which is also about innovation and flexibility - and collaborate with on-line training organisations to develop content and approaches that will meet mediator trainees needs while safeguarding the fundamental aspects of mediation and skills based training" [South, 2017].
