Algemesi. – May 24, 2024

The 4th year of ESO and 1st year of high school students from the IES Bernat Guinovart in the Valencian town of Algemesí have been the last to have had the opportunity to learn about the work of the Valencian Anti-Fraud Agency in the 2023–2024 school year. The activity was carried out by Pilar Moreno García, AVAF training technician.

From February 5 to May 24, 222 people from secondary and high school have participated in the #DocuforumAVAF activity of the Training Service. There have been a total of 8 activities in 6 institutes and schools throughout the territory of the Valencian Community, from Almassora to Xàbia, passing through La Vall d’Uixò and Algemesí.

In this way, the Valencian Anti-Fraud Agency continues to commit to contributing to the debate in classrooms to promote ethics and public integrity among Valencian youth.

On Friday, May 24, the Agency’s Training Service returned to the Ribera Alta region, to the town of Algemesí, with #DocuforumAVAF. The more than 40 students from IES Bernat Guinovart approached the work of the Valencian Anti-Fraud Agency, a public institution unknown to them. In the open and participatory discussion with the students, Pilar Moreno García, training technician, resolved the doubts of the students, after viewing the documentary “Corruption: harmful organism” by Pandora Box.

The social consequences of corruption, the independence of public employees, the possibility of receiving reporting alerts in the AVAF mailbox and the retaliation suffered by those who report corruption in the local administration focused the participation of the students.

Thanks to the collaboration of Professor Teresa Caballero, the Agency was able to be present in the classrooms of the IES Bernat Guinovart, showing the most outstanding functions related to the fight against fraud and corruption in the territorial area of ​​the Valencian Community of the AVAF.

#UnitedAgainstCorruption of the United Nations projects that “youth is the cryptonite of corruption” and the Valencian Anti-Fraud Agency is committed to training in integrity among Valencian youth.
