In a context where legislation on product safety and the market are constantly evolving, it is essential that consumer professionals stay updated to effectively protect consumers, especially the most vulnerable. With this goal, the ECP 8 80 project begins: “Empowering Consumer Professionals: 8 80 Training on Product Safety and Sustainability under the new European legal framework”, designed to strengthen the skills of technicians from consumer organizations and other professionals involved in consumer education, both locally and internationally.
The project’s “8 80” approach aims to cover the education of all consumers, from the youngest to the elderly. Through a specific Toolkit and training activities, ECP 8 80 will address key topics such as:
- Consumer product safety under the new European legal framework.
- Sustainability and the upcoming implementation of the Digital Product Passport.
- The new role of consumers and consumer organizations.
- Consumer Rights.
ECP 8 80 started in March 2025 with the launch meeting of the project and will last for 14 months.
This project is a collaboration between AIJU, Federación Provincial de Amas de Casa y Consumidores Lucentum, and APSI – Associação para a Promoção da Segurança Infantil, co-funded by the Erasmus+ program of the European Commission. These institutions are committed to quality training that strengthens consumer protection and enables more informed decision-making.
