For teachers and youth workers
A lesson, ready to run
A situation takes four minutes and projects well. It opens an hour on European citizenship, on consumer rights, or on how to read a legal text.
The site is designed to be projected. A situation is played collectively: the class votes for a choice, the consequence plays out, the verdict lands with its official text, and the discussion starts there. The wrong answers are the myths pupils hear at home, which makes the correction far less abstract than an article of law read out loud.
No account is needed, nothing is collected, and the site works offline once loaded. On a machine without JavaScript, the written walkthrough and the sheet to print are still reachable: each has its own page, linked from the situation.

Five minutes: the opening question
“Your flight tomorrow is cancelled tonight. Your ticket cost €42. How much does the airline owe you?” Collect the answers on the board without correcting. The spread is the point of the lesson.

Fifteen minutes: play the situation
Project the situation and play it by vote. Pause on every red verdict: read the official extract aloud, then its plain-language version, and ask the class which of the two sentences they would have understood on their own.

Twenty minutes: read a real legal text
Open the EUR-Lex link for Article 7 from the page. Have them find the three amounts in the raw text. It is often the first time a pupil opens an official journal, and discovering that you can find an answer there in thirty seconds is worth the detour.

Fifteen minutes: the written record
Print the sheet for the situation (one page). Have each pupil write the claim letter in three lines: the text invoked, the amount, the item to attach. Then place the four steps of real redress.
What the class takes away
- A costed reflex that sticks: the amount is read off the distance, never off the ticket price.
- The difference between a Regulation and a Directive, understood through a case rather than a definition.
- The habit of opening the source: every statement on this site carries its official link.
- The list of real, free redress bodies you can go to yourself.
Target audience: fifteen and over. The site addresses adults and older teenagers; it does not target minors directly and collects no data. For an in-person session, the association replies by email.
