Consumer Education

Here defines and expands on the themes and objectives of consumer education. Two main themes:

• Sustainable consumption
• Media and technology literacy

which are approached from the viewpoint of four fields of consumer education:

• Home management and participation
• Consumer rights and responsibilities
• Personal finances
• Marketing and Commercial Media

There are aims which are common to several of the educational themes. We call these cross-curricular themes. Cross-curricular themes represent central aspects of education and teaching. Their objectives and contents are first incorporated into four fields of consumer education and into numerous subjects; they help integrate education and learning.
