The book "Citizens in Europe: Active Citizenship and the Community democratic experiment", which is the English version of "Cittadini in Europa. L'attivismo civico e l'esperimento democratico comunitario", written by Giovanni Moro and published by Carocci in 2009, has been published by Springer last December. The text intends to clarify how and to what extent organized citizens are among the protagonists of '"the democratic European experiment", in the first part by analyzing the thematizations on the nature of the European Union, of EU citizenship and of the participatory democracy models, and in the second part by discussing the main results of research projects and papers on active European citizenship, which have been carried out since 2002 by Active Citizenship Network and FONDACA.

In September 2011, on former Secretary General Adiconsum Paolo Landi's own initiative, Sustainable Consumption Foundation was founded with the goal of promoting a culture of sustainable consumption, corporate social responsibility and international cooperation. Taking inspiration from the message of the encyclical letter of Pope Benedict XVI "Caritas in Veritate" (no.66), the Foundation intends to develop the creation of a "center", of a "network" (real and virtual at the same time) where the concepts of sustainability and responsibility linked with consumers (responsible consumption) can be developed, on the one hand, and with companies (CSR), on the other. Everything will be inside the European Union framework. The organization, based in Rome, is open to all those who are sensitive to these issues and have gained experience on consumerism or corporate social responsibility and want to make their contribution to the promotion of a culture of sustainability and responsibility.
