- UOKiK invites you to discover your consumer power!
Did you know that when you rent a scooter, book a cinema ticket, subscribe to a podcast, or buy extra lives in a game, you are a consumer? Each of these situations tests test of whether you can manage pocket money, save time, and make environmentally friendly choices. Every day, you encounter many situations where knowledge of consumer rights is extremely important.
Did you know that the law allows young people aged 13–18 to make small, everyday purchases on their own, such as food or clothing? Electronic equipment, however, is a more serious expense and requires adult consent. Therefore, a parent or guardian can return a purchase made without their knowledge and get their money back – both in a brick and mortar store and online.
Are you a student and want to know how to handle such situations? Test your consumer powers – take the quiz. Do you teach at a school or preschool? Are you looking for engaging materials for your pupils? Use our free tools to help you teach the core curriculum in an original way.
– Lessons for everyone is UOKiK’s educational offer for learners of all ages. Games, a simulator, and quizzes – take up the challenge and test your knowledge in a fun way. We invite you to use our free tools. We are all consumers, and we have rights that are worth knowing in order to make smart, informed, and safe choices – says UOKiK President Tomasz Chróstny.
Mr Receipt – a guide to the world of young consumers
Knowledge is best acquired through practice – and even better when learning is fun and enjoyable. For our youngest audience, we offer the “ABC of the Young Consumer” programme, which combines modern technologies with traditional learning methods. The website malykonsument.uokik.gov.pl offers online games and materials with ideas for preschool or home activities.
In “CE Marking Detectives”, children take on the role of an investigators who, while exploring their home, look for toys with the CE mark. In the game “At the store”, they visit a virtual store, choose products from a list, and learn how to make thoughtful purchases. “Toy Laboratory” lets them become a product safety researcher. These are just some of the games available on the website. All children are guided by Mr Receipt, who explains the rules and assists them as needed. The “ABC of the Young Consumer” programme also includes free classes for preschoolers. The project will cover 250 preschools and approximately 5,000 children. Preschools can sign up for the available classes via the website.
Become a gamer, skateboarder, or eco-activist – and join the game
For pupils in years 7 and 8, we offer classes based on the game “The World of Consumers”, developed in collaboration with the LexCultura Foundation. Taking on roles such as gamer, skateboarder, or eco-activist, teenage players explore city streets, visit shops, browse the internet, or set off on a journey – all while testing their knowledge of consumer law. Victory depends not only on knowledge but also on cleverness and strategic planning, while UOKiK fate and intervention cards add excitement to the competition. The project will include 400 classes in 100 schools across Poland, involving a total of approximately 8,000 students. Teachers can register for available classes via the website grakonsumencka.pl.
Online threats? Check if you can recognise them!
Another useful tool is the portal konsument.edu.pl, which teaches safe online behaviour and habits. It offers an interactive simulator of 10 common threats, such as shopping fraud, fake alternative investments, and BLIK code scams. A dedicated section for teachers provides support in conducting engaging lessons on online safety. The tool is open to anyone who wants to test their vigilance in a controlled environment – and since 2021, almost 22,000 people have already done so.
