Raising Awareness & Training
Sharing Knowledge to Build Sustainable Protection
Intellectual property protection and the fight against counterfeiting cannot achieve sustainable results without training, awareness and knowledge-sharing.
As threats continue to evolve, strengthening the capacities of key stakeholders and improving understanding of risks becomes essential to protect consumers, markets, innovation and future generations.
ACTA-GM believes that prevention through education and capacity-building is one of the strongest drivers of long-term change.
Raising Awareness to Prevent Risks
Counterfeiting is not only an intellectual property issue. It can have direct consequences for:
- Public health, particularly through counterfeit medicines, cosmetics, food products and unsafe goods;
- Economies and innovation, by weakening businesses, creators and investments;
- Consumer safety, exposing populations to dangerous or non-compliant products;
- Culture and creativity, through copyright infringements, piracy and illicit content.
ACTA-GM develops awareness initiatives to help consumers, businesses, authorities and younger audiences better understand these challenges and adopt more responsible behaviours.
Training Key Stakeholders
To strengthen operational capacities, ACTA-GM delivers:
Technical and Legal Training: Designed for customs authorities, public institutions, enforcement agencies, judges, intellectual property offices and professionals.
Specialised Workshops and Seminars: Supporting the exchange of best practices, operational experience and strengthened cooperation mechanisms.
Conferences and Multi-Stakeholder Meetings: Encouraging dialogue between rights holders, institutions, experts and authorities around emerging challenges.
Tailored Educational Programmes: Developed for schools, universities, consumers and younger generations through interactive tools, educational content and innovative learning formats.
Educating Future Generations: Because consumer habits begin at an early age, ACTA-GM also develops educational initiatives aimed at children, families and schools.
Through The Watchers Club, comics, animation, immersive workshops and educational tools, the objective is to make topics related to intellectual property, product safety and responsible consumption more accessible, understandable and engaging.
Training Today to Protect Tomorrow
Through training programmes, regional seminars, technical workshops and educational initiatives, ACTA-GM seeks to transform knowledge into practical and sustainable action on the ground.
Because effective protection always begins with understanding the challenges.
