What is the Consumer Classroom?
The Consumer Classroom is a community website for teachers where they can share consumer education resources along with interactive and collaborative tools from across the EU, aiming at collaboration between teachers and students. Consumer classroom is about helping teachers to educate young people for the life ahead of them. Students (12-18 year olds) are encouraged to develop life-long practical consumer skills so that they consume in a conscious way and better understand their ultimate role in creating a better society. The website is EU funded and aims to stimulate consumer education in secondary schools.
