Youth taking action
Filed under:

Across the Transparency International movement young people are coming together to learn about how to fight corruption. This ranges from one-day workshops to week-long study programmes that can earn university students academic credit. In each situation the goal is the same: educate young people to become leaders in the fight against corruption in their daily and professional lives.

In January, Transparency International Cambodia brought together 130 young people from across the country for one of its anti-corruption youth camps. The event brought the young people together with representatives from the Cambodian Anti-Corruption Unit, an anti-corruption specialised law firm, media producers, prominent youth leaders, motivational speakers and many more to discuss the effects of corruption and what they can do to stop it.

In addition to the training and experience-sharing sessions with these professionals, participants also took part in interactive learning sessions and role play. They were encouraged to transmit the anti-corruption message widely and share the learning experiences in their home towns acting as role models to others and engaging people on the fight against corruption.:16:
