Instructing the consumers

In the course of our work we experience, that Hungary is in absence of consumer culture according to the western European countries. We believe that the lack of consumer protection instruction is one reason for it. Despite the legislative enactment and the intention of the government there are still no consumer protection instructions in the institutions of education. We believe, that for a generation change in the consumer protection it is absolutely necessary to teach the younger generation how they can probate their rights and become part of the European consumer society. The association is tentatively instructing consumer protection in several high educational institutions and middle schools. The goal is to provide sufficient information for this particular age group and informing them about the usual abuses of the suppliers of the products and services they most frequently choose.
