Anti-corruption education is one of the components of the civic education and implies that the teacher has competence to transfer to students knowledge, skills and attitudes relevant for a democratic society. This training has encouraged teachers to work with students in order to develop competencies characteristic of anti-corruption education, with the overall aim to make anti-corruption behaviour a regular practice in Croatian schools and society.
In addition, participants have been encouraged to creatively approach lectures on anti-corruption and apply them in schools, in order to bring this issue across to students and to make them realise its social relevance.
The trainings are conducted in the framework of the project “Local Partnerships for Anti Corruption Education” led by Forum for Freedom in Education and in cooperation with the international organisation the Network of Education Policy Centres, Local Democracy Agency from Osijek, Local Democracy Agency Sisak and Info zone from Split. The project is funded by the European Union and co-funded by the Croatia Government Office for Cooperation with NGOs.
