InfoCons Representatives Participate in the Second Multi-Stakeholder Meeting of the Consumer (Re)generation – CoRe Project
InfoCons representatives are participating in the second multi-stakeholder meeting organised within the framework of the Consumer (Re)generation – CoRe project, dedicated to teachers, educators, representatives of institutions and members of the community interested in promoting consumer rights education.
The meeting continues the dialogue initiated during the project’s first multi-stakeholder meeting, which focused on defining the role of consumer rights education in school curricula and identifying the opportunities and challenges associated with its integration into education systems.
The second meeting focuses on presenting the results of the pilot project conducted in 35 Italian classrooms, as well as on a shared reflection regarding the impact of the activities carried out among students and teachers.
The main topics addressed during the meeting include:
- presenting the results of the pilot project implemented in 35 Italian classrooms;
- assessing the impact of the educational activities;
- exchanging experiences and perspectives among teachers, educators, institutions and members of the community;
- identifying potential approaches to integrating consumer rights education into schools;
- gathering participants’ contributions to the development of a joint position paper.
The conclusions and contributions formulated during the meeting will support the development of a position paper aimed at promoting consumer rights education in schools. This initiative seeks to highlight the importance of educating students as future informed and responsible consumers who are able to understand and exercise their rights.
The meeting is part of the Consumer (Re)generation – CoRe project, an initiative promoted by Cittadinanzattiva, in partnership with EEKE – the Consumers’ Union of Greece and InfoCons – Romania, and co-funded by the European Union.
About the Consumer (Re)generation – CoRe Project
The European Single Market is characterised by an imbalance between consumers and businesses. Limited awareness of consumer rights, an underdeveloped culture of filing complaints and the prevalence of unfair commercial practices, both online and offline, can increase citizens’ vulnerability, particularly among young people.
The CoRe project aims to develop effective educational pathways for consumer education in schools and to promote the coherent, systematic and long-term integration of consumer rights education.
Through their participation in this meeting, InfoCons representatives continue their efforts to promote consumer education and support the development of a culture based on information, responsibility and awareness of consumer rights from an early stage of education.
