The cooperative is defined as the organization of children in the school through which general production work is introduced into the school and into the process of education. It was conceived, and later realized in practice as a methodological form of entrepreneurial education and youth education. Student cooperatives are a form of extracurricular work with students around the world, and in Croatia, it has a long and rich tradition. Free activities as extracurricular forms of work in Croatian education first appeared in the 1950s. The aim of the study was to examine the extent to which the Covid-19 pandemic negatively affected segments of the student cooperative such as student interest, attendance at fairs and fairs, revenues from product sales and procurement of raw materials and other necessities in the cooperative. The research was conducted using an online questionnaire in which 11 cooperative leaders / section leaders from two student cooperatives participated (Student Cooperative "Srčeke" and "Radobojski Guci i Trpuci"). Through seventeen claims, the leaders of the student cooperatives "Srčeke" and "Radobojski Guci i Trpuci" confirmed the assumptions that the Covid-19 pandemic had a negative impact on the work of the entire cooperative. They also confirmed or partially confirmed hypotheses that wanted to examine the impact of the pandemic on student interest in the cooperative, organizing workshops with students, fairs, exhibitions and other events where cooperatives exhibited or sold their products and revenue from product sales. Unfortunately, the Covid-19 pandemic negatively affected most of the components that characterize the work of the student union, but it certainly highlighted several positive aspects such as the characteristics of the student union through the dedication, solidarity and morality of the cooperative
