About PERL
PERL works to assist people around the world who are trying to change from being uncritical consumers to becoming more conscious and active citizens.
Based on six years of work by the Consumer Citizenship Network, PERL aims to advance education for responsible living by focusing on consumer citizenship, education for sustainable consumption, social innovation and sustainable lifestyles.
PERL's approach is to build bridges and to collaborate by recognising that people need to determine their own lifestyle changes—based on good information, consultation and the principles of sustainable human development.
PERL’s main work involves undertaking research and debate, creating teaching methods and materials, encouraging and giving visibility to social innovation, providing recommendations based on its experience and influencing policy.
