Project Goals

The project is structured around several key goals:

• - Fostering cross-sectoral collaboration to promote informal learning and digitalization in anti-corruption efforts.
• - Enhancing organizational capacity to use technology as a tool for detecting and preventing corruption.
• - Encouraging dialogue with policymakers to advocate for stronger anti-corruption measures and reinforce the rule of law.
• - By leveraging digital tools, education, and cross-border cooperation, the project actively contributes to strengthening transparency and accountability in the EU and Western Balkans.

Planned Activities and Expected Outcomes

The project includes a broad spectrum of activities, involving 900 participants from 13 countries in the following activities:

• - Training courses for 75 youth workers on best practices in anti-corruption.
• - Cross-border collaborations with 240 participants.
• - Conferences with 150 professionals to exchange opinions and views on anti- corruption strategies and solutions.

Additionally, the project will develop training materials, toolkits, and digital resources to empower individuals and institutions in combating corruption.

Inclusivity and Social Impact

A defining feature of the project is its commitment to inclusivity and diversity. The partnership includes organizations representing marginalized communities, such as LGBTQ+ networks and Roma advocacy groups, ensuring a broad societal impact. By integrating these perspectives, DigitalVScorrupt promotes equity and ensures that anti-corruption efforts recognize the needs of all citizens.

Long-Term Vision and Sustainability

Beyond its immediate impact, DigitalVScorrupt aims to create sustainable networks and resources that will continue to support anti-corruption efforts beyond the project’s duration. By emphasizing non- formal education, digital tools, and participatory approaches, the project seeks to empower youth, civil society, and business community to take an active role in fostering a transparent and accountable future.

DigitalVScorrupt is a innovative initiative that combines education, digital innovation, and international cooperation to combat corruption at multiple levels. Through cross- sectoral collaboration, policy engagement, and digitalization, the project contributes to building stronger, more democratic societies in both the EU and the Western Balkans. With a strategic focus on youth empowerment and technological solutions, it sets a precedent for future anti-corruption efforts within the region and beyond.
