Faculty of Tourism in Skopje
In September, a monograph titled Cultural Tourism as a Tool for Sustainable Development of Rural Areas, edited by Assoc. prof. dr. Jasne Potočnik Topler, the head of the bilateral project of the same name at FT UM. As part of the project, the project partners are also organizing an online project conference next week, on 23 November 2022.
The monograph represents one of the results of the joint University of Maribor and University of Montenegro research groups in the frame of the bilateral project BI-ME_21-22-020, partially funded by Slovenian Research Agency ARRS and Montenegrin Ministry of Education, Science, Culture and Sports. In 6 chapters, it addresses the problem of uneven tourism development, which could be reduced by further development of cultural tourism. Both, Slovenia nad Montenegro, have rich and diverse cultural heritage, which represents an important tourism resource. Research conclusions show that the key to the future successful development of sustainable tourism in both countries lies in the design and upgrading of cultural tourism experiences. The monograph combines a range of authors, disciplines, approaches and methods, thus, proving once again that tourism is a very rich and diverse interdisciplinary field.
The monograph is available for free at the University of Maribor Press online at: Cultural Tourism as a Tool for Sustainable Development of Rural Areas | University of Maribor Press (um.si)
Next week, on Wednesday, 23 November 2022, at this link, you can join the conference entitled CULTURAL TOURISM AS A TOOL FOR SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT OF RURAL AREAS (programme attached).

Last Friday, October 21, 2022, colleagues and some students of FT UM gathered at the Faculty's lobby for the event of the Quality Commission, the so-called Autumn Quality Day.
Intending to upgrade our work and studies jointly and raise awareness of quality at our Faculty and its increasing importance, we presented and discussed several topics this time. In the first part, we talked about the code of ethics at the University of Maribor, high-quality student nutrition, and implementing part-time studies at our Faculty.
After the break, we continued firstly with the analysis of the action plan for the past year. We also conducted a workshop and made a draft of the new one for 2023. After the planned activities, we continued socializing, as quite a few reasons accumulated in the past weeks to celebrate together.

Project description
This project addresses two main problems identified with regards to reconfigurations of work in platform capitalism: the potential loss of bargaining power of workers over their pay and working conditions within the seemingly invisible process of algorithmic management of digital giants, and the issue of decent work due to potential precarisation of platform workers and the dissolution of workers’ rights.
The Economic and Social Council of the Republic of Slovenia involves employers' associations, trade unions and the government of the Republic of Slovenia. The global platform economy brings important challenges to this system: not only from the perspective of workers and the future of their collective organisation but also from the perspective of employers and regulators positioned in a small country at the periphery of global platform economy.
Through co-participatory research in partnership with The Association of Free Trade Unions of Slovenia this project examines how platform management practices, strategies and actions of workers and government regulation interact to shape pay and working conditions, secure control of the labour process and limit or expand bargaining position of platform workers – from the broader perspective of what these trends might mean for the future of tripartite system in Slovenia and similar countries.
Expected impacts of the projects address the SDG 8: decent work and sustained economic growth. We expect the project to contribute to decreasing and preventing future precarisation of platform workers by identifying potentially problematic management practices, identifying workers’ inequalities according to gender, class, age, nationality, and employment status. The project will also contribute to extending benefits of platform work to workers by identifying conditions under which platform work brings positive work reconfigurations, identifying and building necessary new digital skills, aiding in collective organization of platform workers and influencing policy- making and potentially also platform management.
Key words: platform work, social dialogue, agent-based modelling
