Courses

Teulada, June 3, 2025.- The Valencian Anti-Fraud Agency (AVAF) has closed the 2024-2025 school year with a new #DocuforumAVAF learning experience at the IES Teulada.

 

Thanks to the collaboration of Professor Tania Torres, the 4th year ESO students of the subject of “Economics” have participated in a training session aimed at awakening critical thinking and civic commitment through knowledge of the institutional integrity system of the Valencian Community.

 

Pilar Moreno, training technician of the AVAF, shared with the students the foundations, objectives and functions of this institution, created by Les Corts Valencianes in compliance with the United Nations Convention against Corruption of 2003. Through the presentation, key issues such as the promotion of public ethics, the prevention of fraud and corruption, the protection of whistleblowers and the use of the whistleblowing channel were addressed.

 

#DocuforumAVAF has established itself as one of the most dynamic and participatory initiatives of the Valencian Anti-Fraud Agency, with a presence in schools, institutes and universities throughout the Valencian Community. Its format combines the viewing of short films with a joint reflection with technical staff of the AVAF, generating learning spaces around democratic values and public integrity.

 

With this activity in Teulada, the AVAF closes its training calendar in educational centres during the 2024-2025 academic year, reaffirming its commitment to the training of new generations in a culture of integrity, responsibility and participation.

 

If you are a university, baccalaureate or 4th year ESO teacher in the Valencian Community and you would like your students to live this experience in the next academic year, you can contact the AVAF Training Area through the email:  formacion@antifraucv.es
