The Institute for Applied Research for
Business organized two local workshops on preventing corruption
in public institutions.
The workshops were held on November 22 and 23, 2024 in the premises of the
Civil Society Resource Centre and the Institute for Applied Research in
Skopje.
The workshops are part of the activities of the project ”With Digitization
Versus Corruption” and were intended primarily for youth workers and also
for all others who in some way work and collaborate with ryoung people. The
aim of the workshops was to raise awareness of the negative impacts of
corruption on society, including how it undermines democracy, economic
development, social justice and trust in public institutions.
During the
workshops, the ways in which young people will be motivated to become active
participants in the fight against corruption with the help of various
digital tools, understanding that they have a vital role in creating
transparent and accountable systems, were also discussed. The skills
acquired in these workshops will enable youth workers to encourage young
people to advocate for stronger anti-corruption policies and reforms,
transparency and accountability, and to participate in policy-making
processes.
Organizations from 15 European countries participate in the international Erasmus project "With Digitization Versus Corruption". This three-year project is financed by EACEA of the European Union.
