Valencia. – March 6 and 7, 2024

The first training activity carried out between the AVAF and the UEV has been the celebration of two #DocuforumAVAF in the subject of “General principles of crime and punishment” thanks to the collaboration of professors Susana Berrocal and Carla de Paredes.

On March 6, 2024, Anselm Bodoque, head of the Training Service, energized the debate with the first course of the Law Degree at the European University of Valencia and the following day the #DocuforumAVAF was held with the second course of the double Degree of Criminology and Law, and the double Degree of Criminology and Psychology.

The learning experience offered by the AVAF to the university students allowed for the development of a fruitful debate around the doubts and questions raised by the students, which focused on the effectiveness of the tools developed to eradicate corruption, as well as the effectiveness of fraud prevention control and audit systems, in addition to insisting on civic culture and ways to break the links between apparently minor forms of corruption and major ones.

The measures implemented in the Valencian Community to fight corruption, together with the way fraud affects the quality of public services, such as education and health, stood out among the doubts raised.

The role of citizens in detecting and reporting cases of corruption in public institutions, as well as the use of artificial intelligence to combat corruption were other questions asked of AVAF staff.

With this first activity, the Valencian Anti-Fraud Agency and the European University of Valencia begin a collaborative relationship that aims to enhance the critical spirit of Valencian youth.

If you are a university, high school or 4th year ESO teacher in the Valencian Community and are interested in having the training activity “Docuforum: Corruption, harmful organism” carried out in your classroom, do not hesitate to contact the training service of the Valencian Antifraud Agency through formacion@antifraucv.es
