Alicante, March 5, 2026.- More than 80 university students of the 1st year of Criminology and the double degree in Law and Criminology of the University of Alicante participated last Thursday, March 5, in two sessions of the DocuforumAVAF program, the training activity focused on public integrity and the prevention of corruption aimed at Valencian youth.

 

Pilar Moreno, technician of the Training, Participation, Communication and Relations with other Entities Area of the Valencian Anti-Fraud Agency (AVAF), presented the initiatives promoted by the Agency to promote the culture of information and the protection of whistleblowers.

 

Thanks to the collaboration of the teaching staff of the Department of Political Science, Katia Esteve and Manuel Menéndez, the students were able to analyse the obligations established by Law 2/2023 for all public administrations in terms of internal information systems and whistleblower protection.

 

According to the study “Comparative perceptions of corruption in Spain and Portugal” prepared by the Agency, people under 34 years of age are the least aware of the work of the AVAF, so the DocuforumAVAF program is key to bringing the institution closer to the new generations.
