What did you see?What is it about?
Indeed, advertising. The same as this:
![Page 6: Joint Conference on Consumer Education - OECD•Game of the water –Simulation game of the water cycle •Each participant is one cycle element. •It is easy to see what happens](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051903/5ff4df8ba0568a0d975c0afc/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)

¿Why do sport shoes cost 100 dollar?
Please, note down the answer. Then, we will see whether you got
it right. Think
about it.
![Page 9: Joint Conference on Consumer Education - OECD•Game of the water –Simulation game of the water cycle •Each participant is one cycle element. •It is easy to see what happens](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051903/5ff4df8ba0568a0d975c0afc/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
And I ask myself…
• Do we really want to educate for a responsible consumption?
• And, if we want to...... do we know how?
• And, if we want to and know how…… is it possible?
• And, if we want to, know how and it is possible…… are we allowed to do it?
![Page 10: Joint Conference on Consumer Education - OECD•Game of the water –Simulation game of the water cycle •Each participant is one cycle element. •It is easy to see what happens](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051903/5ff4df8ba0568a0d975c0afc/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Education for a Responsible Consumption
• A permanent process through which one tries to educate persons that are free, conscious, critical, and responsible, committed to the environment, show solidarity, know their rights and are ready to take on their responsibilities in a globalized world in permanent change, causing inequalities and imbalances.
![Page 11: Joint Conference on Consumer Education - OECD•Game of the water –Simulation game of the water cycle •Each participant is one cycle element. •It is easy to see what happens](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051903/5ff4df8ba0568a0d975c0afc/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
This is the challenge
• Are we prepared to face up to the challenge?
• What do we have and what is missing?
• Do we have hope, professionalism, resources, support,…?
![Page 12: Joint Conference on Consumer Education - OECD•Game of the water –Simulation game of the water cycle •Each participant is one cycle element. •It is easy to see what happens](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051903/5ff4df8ba0568a0d975c0afc/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
What do we face?
LET US EXPERIMENT
• Please, look fixedly at the CENTER OF THE SCREEN, the point that turns around. Do not speak. Then, when I say OK, please look at the person next to you.
![Page 13: Joint Conference on Consumer Education - OECD•Game of the water –Simulation game of the water cycle •Each participant is one cycle element. •It is easy to see what happens](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051903/5ff4df8ba0568a0d975c0afc/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
What is happen?
• It is the same effect that achieves advertising: to have a distorted image of the reality.
![Page 14: Joint Conference on Consumer Education - OECD•Game of the water –Simulation game of the water cycle •Each participant is one cycle element. •It is easy to see what happens](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051903/5ff4df8ba0568a0d975c0afc/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Advertising
• Advertising is not innocent in the complete consumerist and irresponsible process, which we face; it is its most skilful spokesperson and most efficient blind person’s guide that influence our consumer actions.
![Page 15: Joint Conference on Consumer Education - OECD•Game of the water –Simulation game of the water cycle •Each participant is one cycle element. •It is easy to see what happens](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051903/5ff4df8ba0568a0d975c0afc/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
It is present in all places
![Page 16: Joint Conference on Consumer Education - OECD•Game of the water –Simulation game of the water cycle •Each participant is one cycle element. •It is easy to see what happens](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051903/5ff4df8ba0568a0d975c0afc/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
But we are not innocent too.
• We consumer are responsible for one part of the problem and we have to be part of the solution.
![Page 17: Joint Conference on Consumer Education - OECD•Game of the water –Simulation game of the water cycle •Each participant is one cycle element. •It is easy to see what happens](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051903/5ff4df8ba0568a0d975c0afc/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Two types of consumers
• Those that “do not exist”
• Those that “do exist”
![Page 18: Joint Conference on Consumer Education - OECD•Game of the water –Simulation game of the water cycle •Each participant is one cycle element. •It is easy to see what happens](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051903/5ff4df8ba0568a0d975c0afc/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)

![Page 19: Joint Conference on Consumer Education - OECD•Game of the water –Simulation game of the water cycle •Each participant is one cycle element. •It is easy to see what happens](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051903/5ff4df8ba0568a0d975c0afc/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Those that “do exist”
![Page 20: Joint Conference on Consumer Education - OECD•Game of the water –Simulation game of the water cycle •Each participant is one cycle element. •It is easy to see what happens](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051903/5ff4df8ba0568a0d975c0afc/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
• Within this context, it has to be suggested
an “Integral Education Plan for Responsible Consumption” to
be integrated into the school programmes.
![Page 21: Joint Conference on Consumer Education - OECD•Game of the water –Simulation game of the water cycle •Each participant is one cycle element. •It is easy to see what happens](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051903/5ff4df8ba0568a0d975c0afc/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)

Without forgetting the most important point:
• How to reach the involvement of the teachers?
![Page 25: Joint Conference on Consumer Education - OECD•Game of the water –Simulation game of the water cycle •Each participant is one cycle element. •It is easy to see what happens](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051903/5ff4df8ba0568a0d975c0afc/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)

At the end of my speech
I would like to answer the questions, which I made at the beginning, like a public confession:
• Personally, I want to educate for a responsible consumption. I have not done anything else since I know myself.
• Personally and professionally, I try to do it. I have tried to do it every day with the maximum impetus.
![Page 33: Joint Conference on Consumer Education - OECD•Game of the water –Simulation game of the water cycle •Each participant is one cycle element. •It is easy to see what happens](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051903/5ff4df8ba0568a0d975c0afc/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
• Sometimes, I have my doubts whether it can be possible.
• Even sometimes, I am not allowed to do it, there are obstacles and not enough resources.
• But, this or that way, at all costs, I personally and professionally want to do it, I try to know how, I believe that it is possible and I fight to be allowed to educate for a responsible consumption. I am in this fight since more than 33 years.
