75. The Virtual reality as an innovative therapeutic tool in primary schoolsAnja Janko, 2026, independent scientific component part or a chapter in a monograph Abstract: The research paper examines the use of virtual reality (VR) as an innovative therapeutic tool to reduce school-related anxiety for children in primary school. It focuses on simulating stressful school scenarios (such as
entering a new school, finding a classroom, or speaking in public) in a safe and controlled environment under the guidance of a therapist. The study aims to evaluate how effective VR is in lowering anxiety levels and to explore therapists' views towards the use of virtual reality as a therapeutic tool. Findings indicate that VR therapy can significantly reduce anxiety while also enhancing social skills and boosting self-confidence among pupils. Although therapists see VR as a valuable tool, they highlight the need for clearer guidelines to effectively incorporate it into therapeutic practices. The research highlights the importance of tailoring VR content to the needs of children with various learning and social challenges. Despite these challenges, VR represents an important step forward in therapeutic approaches, as it allows students to gradually adapt to stressful situations without pressure from the real world.

76. The Significance of meta-reflexivity for the rise of planetary consciousness in the context of European societyTea Golob, Matej Makarovič, 2026, independent scientific component part or a chapter in a monograph Abstract: The paper considers the notion of planetary consciousness as a conceptual and analytical tool for re-thinking how societies imagine identity, belonging, governance, and responsibility on a global scale. It explores how the concept has been evolving in systemic perspectives rooted in the interconnectedness of life as observed by science, civicactivist perspectives emphasising mutual responsibility and need for cooperation, as well as more spiritual views including visions of Earth as a sacred being. It provides an empirical proxy assessment of planetary
consciousness in a nationally representative sample from Slovenia. Additionally, it explores the relationship of planetary consciousness with individuals’ specific mode of meta-reflexivity and discusses the practical
relevance of this awareness for human behaviour.

77. The Role of scientific knowledge in local sustainable practices : addressing the challenging relationship between science, politics and publicMaruša Gorišek, 2026, independent scientific component part or a chapter in a monograph Abstract: The article examined how the existing digital media education framework for children and youth in Slovenia aligns with the humancentric principles of Industry 5.0, focusing on human-machine collaboration, ethical engagement with technologies and the future workforce’s digital competences. The article provides insights into how youth themselves perceive how they were media educated growing up in our society. Through analysis of focus group discussions, the study highlights potential gaps or deficiencies in how media education is currently conducted in our society, especially in the context of preparing children and youth for the challenges and opportunities of Industry 5.0.

79. Industry 5.0 in EU macro-regional policies : past, present and futureAlenka Pandiloska Jurak, 2026, independent scientific component part or a chapter in a monograph Abstract: The Industry 5.0 approach to the industry is to contribute to three of the Commission’s priorities: “An economy that works for people”, “European Green Deal”, and “Europe fit for the digital age”. One of the possibilities for implementing the approach is through Macro-regional Strategies and Interreg, an interregional cooperation programme, cofunded by the European Union. The beneficiaries of the programme are not only the EU member states that are part of the regions, but also regions from Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Moldova, Montenegro, North
Macedonia, Norway, Serbia, Switzerland, and Ukraine, which represents an essential spillover effect. This paper aims to present the integration of the Industry 5.0 strategy into macro-regional strategies and how it is
already reflected in EU macro-regional strategies today. In doing so, we will also demonstrate opportunities for future macro-regional strategies to upgrade them or introduce elements of Industry 5.0 into macro-regional
development.

80. How to overcome the legitimacy crisis of European democracy?Matevž Tomšič, 2026, independent scientific component part or a chapter in a monograph Abstract: Sustainable development of democracy in Europe cannot be taken for granted. We witness tendencies, both external and internal, that are detrimental to democratic political life. The main issue of the chapter thematises the possibilities for strengthening democratic legitimacy and enhancing problem-solving capacity in the EU. It analyses key deficiencies in the functioning of European democracy that need to be tackled. The first deficiency is a lack of leadership, where political decision-makers often lack the vision, wisdom, and courage to face the challenges of the current historical moment. This is coupled with insufficient problem-solving capacity, characterised by poor coordination and low efficiency (despite sufficient material and intellectual resources). This is related to the rise in political distrust of the citizenry toward political and other elites at both the national and EU levels, which is associated with the rise of Euroscepticism. One should also add a relatively weak awareness of a common European identity, not only among ordinary citizens but also among elites. The author claims that political and other elites bear the bulk of responsibility for the legitimacy crisis in Europe.
