In the framework of the development pillar of financing (RSF), in the winter semester of the academic year 2023/2024, we carried out a research-based curriculum project entitled "Economic democracy in democracies". Students of the study program Political Science - Comparative Public Policy and Administration participated in the project, namely as part of the Introduction to Comparative Politics course. Based on the approaches and methods of comparative politics, student groups have prepared eight public policy recommendations in various areas of economic democracy: 1. Workers' participation. 2. Participatory budgeting. 3. Comparison of participation in the Union of Scouts of Slovenia. 4. Cooperatives. 5. Economic democracy in the context of SDG8 and SDG10. 6. Economic democracy in digital economies. Platform work. 7. Workers' buyouts of companies in Slovenia. 8. The role of community governance in the sustainable management of water resources.
In recent years, education has moved from physical to digital spaces. This new type of learning - e-learning - has many advantages, but it also has some disadvantages. Nevertheless, e-learning was quite positively received in the academic community until the global pandemic COVID-19 forced most of the world to switch to distance learning. During the crisis, many academic institutions, students and teachers had the unpleasant experience of having to switch to e-learning completely and without preparation.
