Launches online lecture series titled 'Protecting Consumers'
The Consumer Advice Centre NRW has launched an online webinar series titled "Consumer Protection in Action," aimed at deepening the dialogue between research, politics, and practice. This series, which runs from August 26, 2025, until December, is accessible for free and takes place virtually.
The series focuses on various topics such as digital competencies, health, protection against everyday cost traps, and financial services. It also delves into the intriguing shift in digital expertise between generations, a finding from a recent study by the Consumer Advice Centre NRW, in collaboration with the universities of Kassel and Siegen.
As children and youth increasingly become the digital experts in their families, structured parent-child consultation emerges as a potential solution to support families in the digital role shift. This approach makes children early competent and safety-conscious users, ensuring they navigate the digital world with confidence and caution.
Dr. Christian Bala, the contact for further information regarding the webinar series, emphasizes the importance of these discussions. His email address is [email protected], and his phone number is T +49 21191380-1350.
The webinar series also aims to outline perspectives for effective consumer protection in the future, discussing topics such as health and consumption, digital markets, and financial services. All image material used in the series should credit the Consumer Advice Centre NRW.
