Web-quest is one of the innovative methods of active learning, suitable for the development of civic competence of young people. This method contains elements of gamification and interactivity, allows the use of Internet resources, social media and media content, provides opportunities for participants to develop independent creative activity and self-realization and creates conditions for cooperation in performing exercises and tasks. The author relies on the results of a study of forms and types of practices that create a favorable environment in social media for the development of civic competence. These include: searching for information on specific social and political issues; search for people who share a civic position; presentation of one's civic position; implementation of civic initiatives, organization of actions; development of social capital; job search; search for educational programs, information resources for self-education. The development procedure and the main components of the web-quest are described, the potential of this method for the development of students' motivation is defined. The basic elements of a web-quest are: introduction, tasks, process, sources, evaluations and conclusions, creation of life hack content. Lifehack as a variant of conceptualization of the acquired knowledge and experience in terms of "life wisdom" in the form suitable for transfer of information to other persons is an especially useful element of the programs or trainings for development of civic competence. Examples of web-quests that were offered to students in training were provided.
