EPEKA Slovenia is participating as a partner in the DigitalVsCorrupt project, which is coming to an end in the coming weeks.

DigitalVScorrupt is an Erasmus+ CBY and WB project, the main goal of which is to fight corruption in the EU and the Western Balkans (WB) with digital tools and empower young people and people in the EU and the Western Balkans (WB).

Corruption is a complex social, political and economic phenomenon that affects all countries. Corruption undermines democratic institutions, slows down economic development and contributes to government instability.
Corruption attacks the foundations of democratic institutions by distorting electoral processes, distorting the rule of law and creating a bureaucratic quagmire created solely for the purpose of obtaining bribes.

The result of the project is user-oriented materials for youth workers, civil servants, civil society organizations and professionals related to recognizing corruption, tackling this socially harmful phenomenon and taking appropriate action in the face of corruption. The following practical materials have been developed.

All materials (in English) are also available on the website https://www.digitalvscorrupt.eu.

Training materials

The training materials are designed to build knowledge and practical competences for understanding and addressing corruption in business and public sector. They combine theoretical content with interactive learning methods and real-life examples, ensuring that participants not only learn about corruption but also gain the tools and confidence to act against it. They can be used as a complete training program or as individual modules, depending on participants’ needs and prior knowledge.

Manuals

The Youth work manuals on non-formal education methods to prevent corruption in business and public sector was created to help youth workers, educators, and entrepreneurs explore the impact of corruption on society, business, and the environment. Using innovative non-formal education methods, it enables young people to develop integrity and ethical awareness while actively contributing to democratic and sustainable communities.
