Programme

The lectures will focus on the study of the main issues related to the awareness of environmental aspects involved in consumer behaviours and the protection of vulnerable subjects, starting with minors who are increasingly victims of online fraud and bullying.
In Italy, the protection of consumer rights is strictly connected to the concrete implementation of the protection tools, from a two-fold profile: on one hand, the issue of theownership of rights by consumer-citizens, with respect to those who have the ability to act; while on the other, the problem of exclusion of consumers in regard of access to rights. (UN 2030 Agenda).
This dual approach, in which the consumers rights regulatory framework is inserted, entails that the fundamental rights recognized by the Consumer Code are often disregarded in practice, by placing the consumer in a situation of established weakness.
