Today in Strasbourg, European Consumer Protection Commissioner Meglena Kuneva will present the ‘Europa School Diary 2008′ to the European Parliament. This key tool for students will be printed in more than 2.7 million copies, in all EU languages, and can be ordered by schools free of charge on a first-come, first-served basis.

It has been prepared by the Commission in partnership with the Generation Europe Foundation, national authorities and other stakeholders. It addresses the European Union, but also consumer and social issues such as debt, food, fraud, electronic commerce, credit, sustainable consumption, climate change, the environment, and the dangers when surfing the web.

Since 2004, the European Commission has been publishing a School Diary aimed at students aged 15-18. The diary is developed in collaboration with national partners so that the content is fine-tuned to their national audiences. A teacher’s kit is distributed with the Diary. The 2008 diary will be printed in more than 2.7 million copies. Schools can order copies until 15 February 2008 on a first-come, first-served basis.

Firstly, you should obtain an order code by emailing Generation Europe’s national partner in the UK - david@generation-europe.org.uk
