Dolceta

 

Dolceta is a consumer education website, with 27 country versions in 21 languages, financed by the European Commission.  It offers information on a range of consumer issues in a user friendly and accessible way. 

Consumers can find information and learn more about your consumer rights, financial services, product safety, sustainable consumption and services of general interest (electricity, gas, transport and so on). A new section on Food Safety will be online in the next few weeks.

The Teachers’ Corner of Dolceta contains lesson plans, fact sheets, resources, tools, quizzes and games that can be used with a range of age groups from Primary to adult learners, in a range of curriculum areas – home economics, business studies, CSPE- as well as literacy, drama, community and lifeskills education.
