Description

The aim of the Transparency International Summer School on Integrity is to provide student leaders from across Europe with an opportunity to learn first-hand from professionals working in the anti-corruption field. The School seeks to provide students with a peer-to-peer learning and integrity-building platform that links international experience with transparency and integrity to the current situation in post-communist countries.

Participants of the Transparency International Summer School on Integrity  learn about the causes of corruption and practical ways in which societies can become more transparent and accountable. The School staff  offer students state-of-the-art professional guidance and compelling case studies showing long-term sustainability through transparent and integrity.

The Summer School is organised by Transparency International Lithuania in cooperation with Mykolas Romeris University. Led by experienced anti-corruption professionals, the School seeks to create an environment that brings discussions about transparency and integrity from a high public policy level into the classroom and the everyday life of students.

University students earn 4 ECTS credits upon successful completion of the course. The language of instruction is English.
