The Europa Diary is an education tool. It contains the basics of what the EU offers young citizens, covering a range of their specific concerns: e.g. travel, nutrition, drugs, shopping, money matters, environment, climate change, sustainable consumption, etc. It began as a project of DG Health and Consumer Protection of the European Commission but other DGs, notably Environment, Research and Communication, also financially and editorially lay a part.

It is accompanied by a Teacher's guide. This guide contains background information on different consumer topics, exercises to test students’ understanding, questions for discussion and suggested research projects.

The Europa Diary and the Teacher's guide are available in all EU languages. They are distributed to schools for free, on a first come, first served basis.

In 2007, 2,360.700 copies of the Diary were distributed to approximately 18.000 schools in the EU-27. There is a Teacher's guide for every 25 Diaries.

The website offers details how schools can order copies for 2007-08.
